About the Books
The Tales From Acorn Wood series follows a cast of endearing animal characters as they go about their cosy woodland lives, and this collection brings together four of the best-loved titles. In Fox's Socks, poor Fox has lost his socks, and little ones can lift the flaps around the house to help him search. In Rabbit's Nap, Rabbit is desperate to fall asleep but the Acorn Wood residents keep making noise — can you find out who is keeping her awake? Postman Bear follows Bear as he delivers mysterious letters to his friends Frog, Squirrel and Mole, building to a lovely surprise. In Hide-and-Seek Pig, Pig searches high and low for his hiding friend Hen. Each book features sturdy, chunky flaps on every spread, designed to withstand little hands, and the simple, rhythmic rhymes make them a joy to read again and again. Julia Donaldson's warm, musical storytelling pairs beautifully with Axel Scheffler's instantly recognisable illustrations, creating a sensory, interactive reading experience loved by parents and toddlers for over fifteen years. These board books are ideal for little hands to hold and explore independently, while the lift-the-flap format turns every page into a game of discovery.
