There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors.

Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. It seems that once some sort of agreement is reached, Bunny seeks another route to leadership, however. Soon, Mr Bunny learns that successful leadership involves recognising workers' rights and listening to their input, which isn't half as fowl (! Packed with cross-over humour to amuse kids and big kids too with artwork full of details for poring over time and time again.Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. In recent time, Elys has been awarded second place in the Macmillan Prize and was also shortlisted for the Waterstone’s ‘Picture This’ prize. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. Staffed by June, Vera, Debbie and the other chickens, it's a well-oiled choccy machine - until Mr Bunny, a chocolate capitalist, starts putting profits before poultry. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

She’s never let either of these things hold her back and Elys recently graduated with distinction from the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned. Go behind the scenes of Mr Bunny’s chocolate factory in this hilarious picture book and winner of the 2018 Laugh Out Loud Book Awards (Lollies)! It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you.You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! How can the chickens and Edgar, quality control unicorn, make Mr Bunny aware of all that is involved in Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory? Even Edgar the Quality Control Unicorn is no match for Mr Bunny's controlling ways, and chaos reigns until the chickens go on strike.

Fans of Matty Long's Super Happy Magic Forest will enjoy the humour and speech bubble style, and there are plenty of small details to spot and enjoy many times over. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! Based in Cambridge, when Elys is not drawing she grows cacti, collects pocket watches and spends altogether too much time in the company of other illustrators. I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic!It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. Still a new kid on the block, Elys Dolan has already been shortlisted for The Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Elys works predominately with ink, newfangled digital witchcraft and coloured pencils of which she is the proud owner of 178 but can never seem to find a sharpener. Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory is a streamlined production story, despite Debbie’s unexplained absence.

I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. There’s a secret recipe, pumped into a machine, fed to chickens and laid as chocolate-flavoured eggs.I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!
