The Unexpected Guests: A Martha B. Rabbit Book by Shirley Barber (Hardcover)

Martha B Rabbit knows a long, cold winter is coming, and that she and Tabitha will need to be ready before the icy weather sets in. So together they gather lots of food and all the things they need to stay warm during the wintery months ahead. They also make sure they have plenty to share with their forest friends. 

 

This incredible narrative from Shirley Barber is enhanced by her own paintings and illustrations. As a third-generation artist, Shirley grew up in the Channel Islands of Guernsey and moved to Australia in 1965 with big dreams of creating children's books. After its 1988 publication by Five Mile Press, her first book, The Fairies Cook: A Martha B. Rabbit Book earned instant acclaim and even first prize at the Critica Erba awards at the Bologna Children's Fair. Over ten million copies of Shirley Barber's books have been sold across the world since.

 

The Martha B Rabbit series is a classic collection of children's books by acclaimed author and illustrator Shirley Barber. This is a new edition of the fourth book in the series.
