Rabbit On the Rampage

Rabbit explodes onto the bright yellow cover of this quirky book, with his baseball hat and his boots, riding a blue, cross-eyed pony with a mane quiffed high. Rabbit has a very special carrot a curly, whirly carrot that is his absolute favourite, and it goes with him everywhere. At the swimming pool he hides it in his coat but then discovers it has GONE. He goes into panic mode, and charges off to accuse his friends in turn, Badger, Madame Mouse the ballet teacher, and Hedgehog the bookshop owner, of stealing his special carrot. (Study the bookshop for sections marked Elephantasy, Shrew Crime, Giraffic Novels, Growmance.) The narration is pitch perfect, the rhyming helping to keep the pace racing as Rabbit rampages through the pages. A really funny book, the text and illustrations knitting together brilliantly.
