Picture a sleepy sloth lounging on a tree branch, ready
for nap time. Now
add an energetic and insistent little bunny ready for play!
And
like any assertive toddler, rabbit doesn’t take no for an answer. Rabbit’s
efforts see it set its own fur on end with its noisy effort.
Like
any toddler, Rabbit goes from a full tank to empty within a heartbeat. You can
guess who is ready for a nap in the end!
The
narrative is mostly told using onomatopoeia with toots, pops, crashes, grunts,
snores and sighs, which makes it a delight to read aloud with little ones.
The
illustrations are gorgeous on a dark blue background accented with little
splashes of colour and complementary orange. The simple animal forms still
allow for plenty of expression.
Little ones can’t be too young to have their first taste
of a book, and none better to cut their teeth with than this humorous little
board book.
