The story of Little and Big Nutbrown Hares' efforts to express their love for each other has become a publishing phenomenon. The critically acclaimed original hardback picture book is an international bestseller and has sold over 14 million copies. The book has also inspired a range of other popular products, including this charming magnet playset, which features a copy of the board book story, a magnetic playboard and twelve story magnets which can be used to recreate the story, or make up a completely new one! Developed in consultation with the Centre for Primary Learning and Education, the playset features corresponding text and picture magnets, each with the same picture symbol, so children can match them up and begin to recognize words and their meanings - important in the first stages of reading.
