Age range 0 to 5 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKTRUST STORYTIME AWARD Meet Hattie the Magician — she may be little, but she is a born performer! Hattie the rabbit conjures an amazing succession of animals out of her hat, and for a grand finale produces a wonderful habitat where they can all live. Bigger and bigger animals start appearing and before each page turn is a visual clue as to who will pop out of the hat next. 'A masterfully crafted story for tots, impeccable in its apparent simplicity, yet with all the elements of tension, resolution and surprise needed in a good story. Perfection!' — Carousel 'Rhythm, rhyme, tongue-twisters and a colourful explosion of animals are all delivered with a magical flourish. A perfect book for sharing!' — Alison Brumwell, Storytime Prize judge Activities, games and readings, available here Teachers' resources - Story Play notes, available here
