Reviews / Votes
A delightful dottiness which is just as captivating [as The Gruffalo]. * Guardian * Most children love rhyming, and even those who don't will enjoy The Rhyming Rabbit... a strong narrative with universal themes. * Observer * Donaldson's unrivaled way with words is showcased to perfection as our lyrical rabbit spurts out poem after poem. Lydia Monks' vibrant artwork supports this beautifully, using bright colours and collage. * Library Mice Blog *More details
