Lion vs Rabbit

Author: Alex Latimer

The animals on the African savannah have had enough. Lion is a bully who specialises in wedgies, sticking silly notes on other animals and stealing lunch money. But their pleas to Lion to stop fall on deaf ears. Then the animals have an idea – they’ll post an internet ad asking for help.

At first this doesn’t go well and a range of animals respond to the advert only to leave quickly with their tails between their legs. But then Rabbit arrives … Is he a match for Lion? Is he brave enough, strong enough or smart enough to teach Lion a lesson? And how can Rabbit show the other animals that there’s safety in numbers?

Detailed, vibrant images tell the story independently of the text, which is ideal for emergent readers. When you have finished reading the story, it’s worth going through the book again to find the key to Rabbit’s success and the clues that are given about the twist in the story. Check out the cover, too!

This book is not only fun for young children and early readers, it also contains a positive message about standing up to bullies and the value of team work.
