Brambly Hedge Pop Up Book (HB)

If you grew up with Jill Barklem's mice, you already know the feeling. That particular cosy-longing for a world made of acorn cups, hedgerow larders and autumn festivals in tiny, perfect rooms. This pop-up book brings all of it rushing back in glorious three-dimensional life, and watching a child discover Brambly Hedge for the first time is genuinely one of the loveliest things.

We love it because:

• Jill Barklem's original exquisite artwork leaps off the page in full 3D, making the world of Brambly Hedge feel more immersive than ever
• It works equally beautifully as a gift for a child encountering it fresh, or for a parent who grew up with it and wants to share it (we see you both, and we love you)
• The artwork is rich in detail, so there's always more to find and pore over, which means quiet, side-by-side looking time for grown-ups too
• It's a genuinely beautiful object to have on a shelf

What's in the box:

• One hardback pop-up book, 24 pages, with full-colour illustrations throughout

Great for:

• Children roughly aged 3 and up, and honestly any adult who has ever loved Brambly Hedge
• Birthdays, Christmas, new baby gifts, or passing something wonderful down to the next generation
• Gentle imaginative play, storytelling, and that lovely early love of books

Important to know:

• Hardback, 24 pages
• Dimensions: 28.6 x 22.6 cm
• Illustrated throughout in colour by Jill Barklem
• Published by HarperCollins, December 2022
• As with all pop-up books, a little gentle handling goes a long way, especially with younger children
