How Little Grey Rabbit escapes from being kidnapped is awesome! As ever the sweet tale teams up nicely with the detailed pictures. Obviously what gets stolen from the other animals by the weasels is important, but I was waiting for my favorite bunny to get kidnapped! How it happens is super exciting, she ends up being the weasels' Cinderella, as they won't let her go and forces her to do what she's good at, keeping house. She's so sweet natured that she doesn't fight back, but help does reach her.

I'm not going to spoil the end for you, but it was highly unexpected as I thought Little Grey Rabbit would win them over and make them want to be good, but that's not how it happened. It's an ending that made me laugh despite the circumstances, making it possibly the favourite Little Grey Rabbit book to date.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co...

Curious and moralistic tale, a children's story from a different age.

Still enjoying 're-visiting these childhood favourites. In this one, Grey Rabbit is kidnapped by some very naughty weasles, but help is at hand.
