About this book

Story Details

When Hardy hears the tiniest sound at bedtime, he discovers a very small door in the skirting board and a secret world getting ready for sleep.

Hardy is nearly asleep when a soft little yawn leads him to a tiny blue door glowing with golden light. Behind it, sleepy house-mice are folding blankets, sipping bedtime milk, and settling into their miniature home.

But when their smallest bedtime toy rolls outside the door, Hardy must be extra gentle. With one soft paw, he helps his tiny new friends before the whole house grows quiet again.

Hardy and the Very Small Door is a warm and cosy bedtime picture book for children aged 3 to 6, with gentle animal characters, a soothing read-aloud rhythm, and a magical miniature world. Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, and little readers who love cats, mice, secret doors, and reassuring goodnight stories.
