Poppy's Babies

By Jill Barklem

Book Overview

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge

It was early summer in Brambly Hedge. Outside everything seemed quiet and peaceful, but inside the mill there was chaos. Poppy's new babies were crying, Dusty's mill was clattering and clouds of flour dust filled the air. This was no place to bring up a family. But what was to be done?

The mice of Brambly Hedge came up with a plan in no time at all, and even Wilfred managed to keep it a secret from Poppy, so that she had the most wonderful surprise on the babies' Naming Day.

A Beautiful Little Book

Poppy's Babies is one of my very favorite of the Brambly Hedge series. It is delightful for little children, who will remember Poppy's wedding in the series, to now see the home filled with little babies. It is also the story of a sweet gift from Poppy's husband and friends. I can't recommend it highly enough.
