Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!

by Lorna Scobie, Lorna Scobie (Illustrator)

Overview

For fans of Too Many Carrots, this hilarious picture book follows a rabbit who's in for a big surprise—it's no longer an only child!

Rabbit loves having everything—its flower, carrots, and stretching area—to itself. But then one day Rabbit's parents have BIG news . . . Rabbit now has siblings! Thankfully, the fox next door loves having rabbits around. Maybe she can help?

In the tradition of books like Wolfie the Bunny, author-illustrator—and sister to MANY siblings—Lorna Scobie crafts a gleeful picture book in Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit! that tackles the evergreen dilemma of older siblings who must learn to share and give up solitude in exchange for the love and warmth of siblinghood. Which, as it turns out, is actually fantastic.

Editorial Reviews

"This sweet, simply told, gently humorous story will work equally well at laptime or in group reading sessions. . . The colorful, delicately winsome illustrations add touches of comic flair. . . Young bunnies will happily hop along to this one." —Kirkus

"The text is brisk and humorous on our hero’s initial distaste for sharing. . . The watercolor, pen, and colored pencil art is cheerfully loopy; the critters all have enormous eyes, informally drawn bodies, and a cozily sketchy feel." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

A rabbit, once an only child, learns to cope with copious siblings.

This gray, speckled bunny declares that it likes its singular status: It doesn’t have to share any favorite belongings. Then its parents announce some unfortunate news: There’s a new child in the family. And guess what? Because rabbits breed like, well, rabbits, more floppy-eared, fluffy, wide-eyed little ones join the bunny brood in an impressive rainbow of colors. The next-door neighbor, a fox, states that she likes rabbits and that they’re all welcome at her place. Eldest sib is thrilled to bid them farewell. Ah, alone again. But, as stories like this inevitably go, the rabbit discovers that being unencumbered is no fun. Accepting the fox’s invitation to join its sibs, our protagonist takes a peek and discovers what happened to them while in the vulpine’s custody. (Spoiler alert: It’s not what you think, and the final illustration’s a hoot.) This sweet, simply told (in first rabbit), gently humorous story will work equally well at laptime or in group reading sessions. Though predictable, this scenario is accessible and will be particularly appreciated by youngsters who were once themselves one-and-onlies but then learned to deal with interlopers. The colorful, delicately winsome illustrations add touches of comic flair. (This book was reviewed digitally with 9-by-22-inch double-page spreads viewed at 75.8% of actual size.)

Young bunnies will happily hop along to this one. (Picture book. 3-6)
