The Rhyming Rabbit Julia Donaldson

A rabbit sees a poem in almost everything, but his fellow animals do not always appreciate his enthusiasm. His journey leads him to a companion who shares his delight in words. Julia Donaldson's playful rhyming story celebrates imagination, the pleasure of noticing the world and the comfort of finding someone who understands the thing you love to do.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
