Little Rabbit's Big Surprise would make a fabulous addition to an Early Years / Key Stage One classroom book box or a home library. It isn't a chapter book, the story is written in small chunks of text on each page which makes it less daunting for a reluctant or less confident reader.

This is a lovely story about helping others and being useful and valued, whether young or old... The shiny coloured paper makes them a joy to read and enhances the feel of picture books rather than chapter books, to fit with the purpose of the series. Perfect to instill a love for books.

Parents in Touch

A charming tale of a young rabbit visiting her woodland neighbours... Along the way they realise the value of family, community, and the challenging lives of squirrels and dormice.

This is a serious story about helping and responsibility, and the illustrations are gentle for this more sensitive story.

Books for Keeps

A lovely full-colour crossover book to bridge the gap between picture and chapter book. An adorable story which newly independent readers will love.

Angels and Urchins

An ideal story to bridge the gap between picture books and independent reading, Little Rabbit's Big Surprise is beautifully presented as a small format hardback with glossy pages and full-colour illustrations on every page. The progression of the story is simple, with a recurring theme to aid understanding and reading development.

The animal characters have been personified and are full of emotion, sighs and gestures. Young children will relate to Little Rabbit. This is a great introduction to chapter books for children ready for the next step in reading. The short passages of text are all accompanied by beautiful watercolour illustrations. There is a familiar pattern to each interaction and this all helps readers to follow along the longer format of story-telling.
