The Rhyming Rabbit
Publisher: Macmillan Children's Books
The Rhyming Rabbit isn’t like the other rabbits, he likes to make up rhymes about the world around him but not everyone is interested in hearing them. Why can’t he just eat the grass and sleep like everyone else, the other rabbits grumble.
Feeling sad, lonely and unwanted, the Rhyming Rabbit decides to leave the burrow and heads off to the outer world, but no one else seems to appreciate his rhymes either, until he finds an unlikely companion – a sheep who also likes to rhyme, and together they make the perfect rhyming pair.
This lovely story about the importance of individuality and looking at the world around you is beautifully illustrated with Lydia Monks’ soft pastel paintings with glitter on every page.

Books about animals
Lots of Julia Donaldson books feature animal characters - from whales to ladybirds, from monkeys to mice!

Such an awesome book with amazing illustration, but was highly disappointed with the use of language ("shut up"). My 3yr old won't stop using this word now :( Such a shame as I really loved her books!
