Description

The irresistible story of Robin Robin and her adopted mouse family is the perfect Christmas treat from the creators of the Christmas-themed film, Robin Robin, created by Aardman for Netflix. This picture book version of the story, beautifully illustrated by Briony May Smith, is perfect for sharing with young children. The mouse family all love Robin, and she is so keen to fit in, she pulls her feathers into ears . . . but nothing can make a noisy, rather clumsy, bird good at sneaking crumbs for the family without disturbing the dreaded cat! Robin Robin is a warm and funny story to win the hearts of families everywhere.
