The Rhyming Rabbit: The perfect gift for Easter!

The Rhyming Rabbit is a brilliant tale of an unappreciated rabbit who'd rather make up poems and songs than eat grass, run from foxes or sleep. His warren family are exasperated with him so he digs a tunnel and sets off on his own adventure. He's rebuffed by a worm, mole and a very rude centipede but eventually the rhyming rabbit finds a like minded friend. It's a wonderful tale of finding friendship. It's aimed at a slightly more mature child than 'What the Ladybird Heard' while still having the rhymes and raised glitter to entertain younger children. There are raised glittery wriggly worms, bones, treasure, beetles and lots more to discover. There's a lot of text in this large sized hardback book and some fabulous Lydia Monks drawing and collage illustrations. Very entertaining and well worth adding to your book collection.

I loved this story about a rabbit who feels misunderstood for being interested in something other than everyone else is, who goes looking for somewhere else and who finds a friend who loves the same thing as him, rhyming - and in so doing, finds that life is much more enjoyable. Gorgeous illustrations and lovely language which is hardly surprising since it is written by Julia Donaldson!

My great great granddaughter enjoys this book, and so do I! The illustrations are lovely and the rhymes are fun. Good value. Recommended.

Good quality book, nice story reasonable level of language for a 7 year old

My daughter loves this book day and night we also bought what the ladybird heard and what the ladybird heard next. I recommend all these books to you if you want expand your child's mind they are wonderful stories. Great birthday or Xmas gift.

My daughters (4 &6) love this book! Highly recommend!

Great story, loved by grandson . A nighttime favourite read, well illustrated and lovely colours

We bought two copies, one for our two year old grandaughter and the other for our three year old grandaughter. They absolutely love it and want it read over and over again. We think that parents and grandparents alike will love reading it. One of the best books we have bought for a very long time. Peter and Susan Prior

Sweet story full of wonderful, funny poems. Beautifully illustrated. Toddler loves it!

Loved the language, illustrations and the rhymes - wonderful encouragement for young readers to try out new rhymes of their own.

We have a few books from this wonderful pairing of author and illustartor and they are perfect for mum and toddler! We started with the Singing Mermaid which has just the sweetest story, beautiful words ( the books are written in rhyme ) and added 'what the ladybird heard' ( funny tale of the attempted stealing of a prize cow) then this book ( sweet story of a poetic rabbit who finds a friend who also appreciates poems) and the newest addition Sugarlump and the Unicorn. All the books have amazing intricate amusing sparkly illustrations, and wonderful story lines - my little girl was introduced them at the age of one and a half, and immediately loved them. The language use is clever and catchy and she has picked up a lot of new words and interesting ideas from them, and the characters pop up in each of the books so its fun for her to spot her favourite characts in the different books. For us, no one else beats these beautiful special books that you will want to keep for ever :)

My daughter loves it

bellissimo. Sapientemente studiato. Utile per bambini che hanno genitori che possono leggere il libro in Inglese. Non so per gli altri.
