The Rhyming Rabbit by Julia Donaldson
Synopsis
The Rhyming Rabbit loves to make up entertaining poems, inspired by everything he sees, but the other rabbits don’t appreciate his talent for rhyme. Sad and lonely, the Rhyming Rabbit sets off one starry night all on his own – will he ever find someone to share his poems with?
The Rhyming Rabbit is a clever rhyming adventure from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard. With brilliant rhyming verse and bright and distinctive illustrations, this story is a delight to read aloud.
Reviews

'Most children love rhyming, and even those who don’t will enjoy The Rhyming Rabbit… a strong narrative with universal themes.' Observer
'Donaldson’s unrivaled way with words is showcased to perfection as our lyrical rabbit spurts out poem after poem. Lydia Monks’ vibrant artwork supports this beautifully, using bright colours and collage...' Library Mice Blog
