Mr Bunny's Chocolate Factory

Product Information

She’s never let either of these things hold her back and Elys recently graduated with distinction from the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. There’s a secret recipe, pumped into a machine, fed to chickens and laid as chocolate-flavoured eggs. Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory is a streamlined production story, despite Debbie’s unexplained absence.

It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. Go behind the scenes of Mr Bunny’s chocolate factory in this hilarious picture book and winner of the 2018 Laugh Out Loud Book Awards (Lollies)! Packed with cross-over humour to amuse kids and big kids too with artwork full of details for poring over time and time again. Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.Elys works predominately with ink, newfangled digital witchcraft and coloured pencils of which she is the proud owner of 178 but can never seem to find a sharpener. You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! It seems that once some sort of agreement is reached, Bunny seeks another route to leadership, however. Even Edgar the Quality Control Unicorn is no match for Mr Bunny's controlling ways, and chaos reigns until the chickens go on strike.

Still a new kid on the block, Elys Dolan has already been shortlisted for The Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Fans of Matty Long's Super Happy Magic Forest will enjoy the humour and speech bubble style, and there are plenty of small details to spot and enjoy many times over. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. In recent time, Elys has been awarded second place in the Macmillan Prize and was also shortlisted for the Waterstone’s ‘Picture This’ prize. Based in Cambridge, when Elys is not drawing she grows cacti, collects pocket watches and spends altogether too much time in the company of other illustrators.
