Rabbit of global fame hops into the lives of young readers with two new books from award-winning designer Jo Ham. Uh-Oh! Rabbit Are you looking for adventure? Rabbit certainly is and today he is ready to go up, up, up. And with a see-saw, a diving board, a ski jump and a slide, Rabbit is sure to have all sorts of fun. But what goes up must come down as Rabbit is about to discover… Yippee! Rabbit Rabbit is always looking for excitement. What will today bring? A kite, a swing, a scooter and a superhero cape. Rabbit is ready to go, go, go. But things that go also have to stop as Rabbit is soon to find out… Released simultaneously, Uh-Oh! Rabbit & Yippee! Rabbit are fun, playful and perfect for very young ones. Two separate days of adventurous pursuits and exhilarating endeavours introduce the concepts of stop and go and up and down through the most joyous artwork and delightful phrasing. Rabbit’s escapades also offer great starting points for conversations around cause and effect and actions and consequences. Jo Ham is one clever bunny. Through Rabbit, along with the occasional appearance of another, the simple joys of everyday play and the small yet memorable moments in life are explored, celebrated, championed, and will have readers wanting to hop in Rabbit’s paw prints as they live their very best life. Rabbit’s adventures are bursting with humour, cleverness and wit and star a character who, although is only ever silhouetted, radiates personality, charm and warmth. Adults will love them, kids will want to be them. Don’t be fooled by the simple design, brief text and minimal colour palette. These titles are action-packed, eventful and emotion-filled with Rabbit getting up to all sorts of endeavours. Expect fun, and frustrations, wahoos and whoopsies, and some very surprising endings.
Featuring on ceramics, prints and murals, Rabbit is popular around the world and their appearance in picture book format is sure to win over a new audience of fans. A superb addition to the libraries of toddlers - expect re-read requests. Rabbit will return for more in Oops! which is out in early 2024. Recommended for 2+. With huge thanks to Walker for the copies I received in exchange for an honest review.
