Description
Written and illustrated by British husband-and-wife team, Helen and Thomas Docherty, The Snatchabook is both fresh and timeless with a universal theme that appeals to every child and family. Brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud rhyming verse by Helen Docherty and glowing artwork by Thomas Docherty lend a classic feel to this enchanting story.
When all the animals’ bedtime story books start disappearing, one brave rabbit sets out to solve the mystery - and finds that it’s a sad little Snatchabook, a small, magical creature who just wants someone to read to him. All turns out well when the books are returned and the animals take turns reading bedtime stories to the Snatchabook.
The Snatchabook celebrates the comfort of reading, the warmth of sharing, the value of empathy, and the joy of friendship. A celebration of reading and togetherness, The Snatchabook is set to be loved by generations.

A first purchase for libraries everywhere.” —School Library Journal
