Ex Libris - The Brambly Hedge series

To kick off this new series of posts I am going to tell you about the Brambly Hedge series by Jill Barkham.

There are four in the series, sadly we have only three of them. We are missing the autumn one, as you can see.

They are seasonal stories about little mice who live in Brambly Hedge "on the other side of the stream across the field. [...] The mice keep themselves very busy. There is always something to prepare for and, of course, the mice never miss an opportunity for a celebration."

The illustrations are beautifully detailed. Even a non-reader can take the books and look at the pictures. They are ideal for reading out loud to children.
