Little Rabbit Lost

Horse deals with a sensitive subject in a caring, accessible manner. He illustrates it throughout with friendly, detailed pictures, and the double spreads are especially enjoyable. One of Little Rabbit’s birthday presents is a red balloon, but the big treat is a family trip to Rabbit World theme park. There are such temptations… the pirate ship, carrot speedboats, helter-skelter and the BIG HOPPER. Little Rabbit tells everyone he is big now, not heeding his parents’ warnings to stay close. He wanders off, enjoying the bouncy castle until he realises he can no longer see his parents. Fortunately, he still holds the red balloon, and this is how his parents find him. A cautionary tale, this book can be enjoyed from the earliest days through to independent reading.
