Hugo the Hare's Rainy Day

Author: Jez Alborough

Hugo Hare hates to get wet and will go to great lengths to stay dry. So much so, he is fully prepared for any potential rainfall, despite the glorious weather outside. Yet Hare was right, rain was on the way and he kindly shares his umbrella with Billy, the two friends find themselves squeezing under it. However, they both don’t quite fit. Sometimes it’s easier to just get wet!

This is a humorous rhyming story focusing on outdoor play, teambuilding and friendship. With the opportunity to sing along at the end, it is the perfect book for story time sessions; toddlers are bound to love the splashy singing fun.
