My 3 year old daughter loves a lot of Julia Donaldson's books (especially 'What the Ladybird Heard') and so do I but this book is real disappointment. I bought it because of the 'Donaldson' name but must agree with one other person who has reviewed it that the ending is a bit of a let down. What also disappoints me is that there is a phrase in here where the main character is told to 'Shut up!!' by one of the other characters (these are the exact words!). Now, I changed the words to 'shush' or 'be quiet' and if my three year old caught wind of the fact it says 'shut up' I'm sure she would be using that here and at nursery school, something I do not want to endorse as a parent. How this got to publishing...I do not know! Sufficed to say we also bought 'Jack and the Flum Flum Tree' by Donaldson at the same time as this (both bought blindly based on online reviews) and she really loves that one. My wife and I both agree that this is not a good book and one we will not be reading often to our daughters.

I am a huge fan of Julia Donaldson and have bought most of her books for my two sons (4 and 2) who love them as much as I do and have bought many as gifts for friends. As usual her rhyming text is brilliant and the Lydia Monks illustrations are great. However, I felt that the ending let the book down. It seemed that she ran out of ideas and a book which could have been great (brilliant idea of a rhyming rabbit meeting different animals on his journey away from his warren) ended up just average. My 4 year old who absolutley adores her books and can recite most of them by heart just looked at me blankly as I finished the book as he couldn't understand why it just appeared to end abruptly without any exciting conclusion. Unfortunately this has ended up sitting on our bookshelf which is a first for one her books.

same as a lot of the other reviewers, we have plenty of Julia Donaldson books in our house, my daughter loves 'what the ladybird heard'. TBH we were bit sick of reading it and thought we'd try another book, but rhyming rabbit is awful. It doesnt flow, the characters are quite rude to the rabbit, the dialogue is far too advanced to capture my daughter's imagination and the pictures arent even that good.we were pretty pleased when my daughter tore the pages out,it meant we could throw it out guilt free. I wouldnt bother buying, I'd go for just about any of her other books instead.

Fabulous
The Rhyming Rabbit is a brilliant tale of an unappreciated rabbit who'd rather make up poems and songs than eat grass, run from foxes or sleep. Read more
