A deliciously funny debut from a major new talent!
Mini Rabbit is making a cake.
Cake,cake,cake!
But he's run out of berries.No berries,no cake.
No cake No way!So off he goes to look for some...
He's not cold,not too small.And,no,no,definitely NOT LOST...
or is he

MEDIA REVIEWS
'A debut picture book from John Bond,Mini Rabbit Not Lost,mixes silliness with a Jon Klassen-like note of piquant peril. Mini Rabbit loves cake - but cake can't be baked without berries. Off he goes,on a foolhardy mission to find some. Catchphrases ("Not lost!","Cake cake cake!") and an unexpected final twist make for great appeal.'- The Guardian
'Mini Rabbit will stop at nothing for cake. Off he goes,bouncing over mountains and meadows,hollering'caaaaake!',in search of berries to finish off his mum's latest creation. With his colourful debut picture book,Mini Rabbit Not Lost,and it's teeny wide-eyed star,author-illustrator John Bond brilliantly captures the single-mindedness of small children and how everyday desires can spark epic quests for them. It's also very witty,both pictorially (look closely and almost every page has berries missed by Mini Rabbit) and with the punchline,once he's home and offered cake:'No,thank you,'he says.'Can I have some ice cream'- The Guardian / The Observer
