The Rhyming Rabbit
Illustrator: Lydia MonksRhyming Rabbit has an annoying habit: instead of getting on and doing rabbit-like things, he just wants to make up poems about them. So, shunned by his fellow rabbits, he sets out one night in search of a more appreciative audience for his talents. But worm, mole and centipede are singularly unimpressed and poor Rabbit becomes even lonelier. Then he comes upon another fluffy creature with a penchant for poems – a sheep no less, and the world starts to look a whole lot better.
Star spangled skies, a shiny rainbow, sparkly speech bubbles, butterflies and beetles, not to mention hidden treasures underground draw inquisitive fingers to find their images within the decorative mixed media illustrations to this longish text in alternating prose and rhyme.
