Poppy's Babies (Brambly Hedge) [Hardcover]

Jill Barklem (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2000 | Series: Brambly Hedge (Book 8)

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 come up with a plan in no time at all, and even Wilfred manages to keep it a secret from Poppy so that she has a wonderful surprise on the babies' Naming Day.

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.
