Description
An everyday battle of wills between a mother and child where everyone ends up a winner!
Rabbit is happy doing his own thing, and he doesn't want to listen to his mum telling him to get up, get dressed, have breakfast, play outside, come inside and least of all... have a bath! NO, NO, NO! he says.
But at last they hit on something they both love doing together.
This picture book is perfectly pitched and re-assuring for parents whose child is being contrary; it provides interactive, ironic drama for fans of Jon Klassen, with the emotional pay off of 'The Hug' (McLaughlin and Dunbar).
Short listed for the Booktrust Storytime Prize, long listed for the Klaus Flugge Prize
