Written by Pam Ayres

Narrated by Pam Ayres

Read by the author, Pam Ayres.

Join Hattie the playful Brown Hare as she leaps from meadow to farm to heath, in this heartwarming tale written in rhyme by the much-loved poet Pam Ayres, author of The Last Hedgehog.

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?

Wonderfully read by the author, I Am Hattie the Hare is a follow-up to the bestselling I Am Oliver the Otter, bursting with natural and historical facts interwoven throughout the story.
