Mum doesn't seem to have time for Rosie so she tries to help by taking baby brother, Fat Mat, out of the house to play; but mud pies and blueberries are messy and Mum is far from pleased ... so Rosie runs away. This tale of sibling jealousy featuring a rabbit family is prettily illustrated in watercolours which, like the story, have plenty of child appeal whilst avoiding being over-sentimental. A well-designed book which should prove seductive to learner readers.
