Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar

Author: Emily MacKenzie

Libraries are wonderful things, imagine being able to borrow any book you liked? Book-loving Bunny, Ralfy Rabbit doesn’t know about libraries so he’s fallen into a life of crime, borrowing books from people’s shelves while they sleep, taking them home and not returning them. Ralfy is a robber! When he picks the wrong place to pinch from he’s caught ‘read-handed’, luckily a fellow book lover recognises Ralfy’s love for literature and takes him to the place where any book can be taken… if it is returned!

A lovely picture book debut with a fun character and some excellent rabbity jokes to entertain every member of the family. Little ones will be desperate to visit a library and hopefully, this book underlines how spectacularly lucky we are to have such a thing available to us. Ralfy unlocks the gate to unlimited reading and his story could inspire the next generation of read-a-holics to become library lovers and not book thieves!
