Synopsis
A family of rabbits go through their end-of-day routine, from having their tea to brushing their teeth, sharing a story and being tucked up in bed, until they peek out of the window and see something that's a change from their usual routine in this classic picture book. With delectable art and warm, lyrical text, this is a thoroughly modern picture book with strong echoes of books such as The Velveteen Rabbit and the works of Beatrix Potter.
Review
This is a good bedtime book for small children. I liked the way it follows a child's normal bedtime routine (might possibly help reinforce this routine with younger children who feel a bit reluctant to go to bed, but that would also depend on how strong willed your child is and how much a fight going to bed is!). The book is written in verse and it's comes across as a soothing lullaby. I also liked the pictures (reminded me a bit of Beatrix Potter).
