I am Hattie the Hare

Take a trip through wide-open lands with I Am Hattie the Hare, and learn about these beautiful and fascinating creatures. Written in rhyme by the much-loved poet, Pam Ayres.

We didn’t always live here, once we had a sunny home,
We came here with centurions, all the way from Rome . . .

From grape green meadows to old-fashioned farms, hares travelled thousands of miles to find a home in the British countryside. What do they eat? What's their perfect habitat? Can you tell them apart from rabbits?

Written in playful rhyme from the point of view of one particular hare, Hattie, and wonderfully illustrated by award-winning artist Nicola O'Byrne, Pam Ayres's charming tale is a follow-up to Amazon bestseller, I Am Oliver the Otter. Bursting with natural and historical facts interwoven throughout the story, and with an information spread at the end, that includes tips on where to spot these gentle and beautiful creatures.
