Critic reviews

Glittery and witty
A delightful dottiness which is just as captivating [as The Gruffalo].
Most children love rhyming, and even those who don’t will enjoy The Rhyming Rabbit… a strong narrative with universal themes.
Donaldson’s unrivaled way with words is showcased to perfection as our lyrical rabbit spurts out poem after poem.

My four year-old loved it before going to sleep. 🙂 We all enjoyed it a lot.

Perfect bedtime story

the volume of the singing part is louder than the story, not good for bedtime and the worst not is the really annoying woman at the end and in between sections who reads out loudly all the copyright info and wakes up your child and you when you've just fallen asleep!! Why?! it's such a failure of the point!

Aside from that the story is really nice and the singing good.

Great story and read well except...
