A heart-warming picture book following an inquisitive hare as he discovers that the best place in the world is always with the people you love.
"Do you think this is the best place in the world" Hare asks his friends, Rabbit, Bear, Duck and Owl. Certain there must be somewhere better out there, Hare sets out on an adventure that takes him to mountains higher than the clouds, sun-kissed beaches and starlit deserts. But even the most beautiful place isn't perfect without friends to share it with, and perhaps the best place in the world is actually closer than Hare thinks. Petr Horcek's artwork shines with a gorgeous summer palette in this charming bedtime read.
"The artwork is stunning. Each spread is bursting with colour and life, depicting wonderful places and warm relationships. The Best Place in the World is a complete delight." North Somerset Teachers' Book Award
