"A second book from a very promising newcomer… In a series of fluid, elegant pictures, Young Harris finds out how to make the most of his lovely big feet. A gentle story in pleasing colours, strongly designed, with just enough menace in the shadow of the wolf cast across the page." --Carousel, July 2008
"Tigers at Edinburgh Zoo provided Catherine Rayner with the inspiration for her award-winning picture book Augustus and His Smile, and in the follow-up the artwork is stunning once again… With its beautiful pictures and inspiring message, this book is perfect for nursery-aged children ready to take their first steps to independence." --Scotland On Sunday, April 2007

Product Description
Harris was a very small hare with very big feet. 'Why do I have such enormous feet, Grandad?' Harris sighed. So Grandad shows Harris how to hop high into the sky, to climb to the tops of the mountains, and to run very fast. Harris not only learns about the world around him but also the importance of finding his own feet.

Format:Paperback
This is one of the loveliest books we've come across recently - the tale of a young hare who is introduced to his abilities to bounce and run, as well as to the wider world by his wise old grandfather. The layers of the story are significant but simply conveyed: about our relationships with our elders, the way they can introduce us to the world, the joys of exploration, and the roots of home that bring us bounding back again. Highly recommended.

Following on from the unique and wonderful Augustus and His Smile, Rayner's second book is stunning, clever and beautiful. It has a fine, strong story and bold, special illustrations. An absolutely wonderful picture book!

I totally disagree with a previous reviewer who feels this is a rip off of 'Guess How Much I Love You'. We own both and yes, they are both about hares...one younger and one older, but this is really where the similarities end. This book is a touching story about how Harris learns what he can do with his feet and finds his independence. My son has loved it since we started reading it to him at 6 months. The pictures are stunning. I would highly recommend this book.

Beautiful heart-warming picture book with gorgeous spring-time...
This is a lovely book, a simple story with a fresh open feel that reminds me of the classic "Guess how much I love you" story by McBratney and Jeram, is every bit as heart-warming... Read more
