This rabbit, that rabbit by Jane Porter (Walker)

A very simple board book for the youngest children, hilarious pictures of rabbits and a great introduction to the idea of opposites.

Charlie Chick by Nick Denchfield and Ant Parker (Campbell)

Charlie Chick eats lots and lots of barley and wheat, and he grows big and strong – but you should see his Mum! Great pop-ups and a surprising final page.

Chick by Ed Vere (Puffin)

We see Chick hatching out from his egg and being looked after by his mum who loves him even when he has a small accident – young children love the pop-ups and the bit of naughtiness.

Oops! Little Chick by Jo Lodge (Campbell)

This time there are interactive tabs to pull to reveal the story and involve the youngest of readers. Vivid illustrations.

The Odd Egg by Emily Gravett (Macmillan)

An enchanting book using pages of different sizes to tell the story of an egg, the most beautiful egg in the whole world – but it isn’t a chick that hatches out!

Chickens Can’t See in the Dark by Kristyna Litten (Oxford)

The story of a chick who longs to see in the dark however many carrots it takes! A delightful story full of humour and an unexpected ending.

What Small Rabbit Heard by Sheryl Webster, illustrated by Tim Warnes (Oxford)

Small Rabbit goes for a walk with Big Rabbit on a very windy day. The wind howls so much that Little Rabbit can hardly hear Big Rabbit’s words and so never quite gets things right.
