Grey Rabbits May Day

Little Grey Rabbit is one of the classic gems of children's literature. The series is being relaunched, tying in with a new, beautifully animated television adaptation, and will delight children as much today as when it was first published seventy years ago. Late one night, just before May Day, Hare steals into the village and dances around the Maypole. He tells little Grey Rabbit and Squirrel excitedly all about it the next morning. Oh, can we have a Maypole too? begs Squirrel. Soon, all the woodland animals are preparing for the wonderful day, making garlands and crowns of spring flowers. But Wise Owl tells them that they need to have the most special flower of all, the Crown Imperial, for the sceptre. Who will be brave enough to go to the village to find one? AGE 4-8

One evening, Hare rushes home with news of a party he's seen -- little Grey Rabbit and Squirrel hurry out to take a look at the wonderful sight, and return home determined to have their own party... But how do you throw a party? Armed with Wise Owl's 'how to give a party' book, the preparations begin. There are Forfeits, and Invitations, and Thimbles, and RSVP and Iced Cake to remember. Hare takes charge of Turn the Trencher, and little Grey Rabbit busies herself writing invitations. Then there is food to prepare -- what a mixing, stirring and tasting! Finally the guests arrive in their best clothes, and the fun begins. Even Wise Owl enjoys himself...though he doesn't quite play by the rules of Hunt the Thimble! AGE 4-8 as well as adults who will remember Little Grey Rabbit from their own childhoods.
