Sunday Shelfie - Banjo The Hot Cross Bun


Happy #sundayshelfie day! It is my pleasure to welcome Rory H. Mather and Christopher Nielsen.
This week we are celebrating their fun new picture book Banjo The Hot Cross Bun.

Gather round, children, there’s a story to tell, about a delectable treat, with a wonderful smell. Prepare to laugh, prepare to have fun. For this is the tale of Banjo the Bun.

Banjo the Bun has found himself out on the shelves on Boxing Day and he is not happy. Will anyone be able to tame this hot cross bun?!
