The House Rabbit

The House Rabbit

Rabbit is a worrier. He even worries in his sleep.
One night a particularly bad dream wakes him with a start.
And when it is quickly followed by a terrible CRASH he is quite sure that he and all the other house animals are DOOMED.

Join Rabbit as he bravely leads the other animals to safety and discovers the source of the noise . . .

  • "A modern-day 'Chicken-Licken'"

    Susan Elkin, Independent on Sunday

  • "The writing is wonderful and we easily fell into this great storyline! The illustrations are a real treat ... This wonderful little story reassures children ... This is a truly brilliant tale that we will definitely be recommending, reading again and putting on our favourites shelf! A real winner! 4.5/5 stars!"

    Carly, Fiction Fascination blog

  • "With its built-in repetition, the tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story ... Superb, and I specially love the ending."

    Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

  • "It's a lovely story to share with young children, especially those of a nervous disposition who may well see some of their fears allayed."

    Cheryl Pasquier, Mad House Family Reviews

  • "For tinies, try The House Rabbit with its pretty pale green and lilac, chatty, busy illustrations."
