Be the Biggest. Listen to stories about everyone’s favourite big brother rabbit, Stephanie Blake’s world-famous Simon! Learn to draw this cheeky bunny, and make some Simon bunting for your bedroom decor. We have loads of Simon books to giveaway, thanks to Gecko Press.

Take the Plunge. Listen to stories about brave creatures balling up their courage in the face of watery adventures, then make a fun crabby craft memento, to remind you to stand strong.
