It's funny. Even as an adult I smiled at quite a few things and it's a book which you won't struggle to like after you've been through it quite a few times. But it's not just a book to read ''to'' a child - the clear font makes it ideal for an emerging reader and the good quality paper means that there's no bleed-through from the reverse of the page which can distract a learner or someone suffering from dyslexia. In fact, if a white background (which is occurs on some pages, but is matt rather than gloss) is ''not'' a problem for your dyslexia sufferer then this book might be a help. There are plenty of gorgeous illustrations to break up the text and provide a clue for the odd difficult word - although the vocabulary is not overly challenging.
It's a good story too - there's mild peril to add a little spice, but not so much as to cause a problem. The reason for Rabbit's bad manners is clearly explained and Rabbit does understand that stealing someone else's food is wrong, so no one is going to go away from the book with the wrong idea. It's the first book in a series and is sure to become a firm favourite. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Rabbit and Bear: The Pest in the Nest by Julian Gough and Jim Field]].
Children who enjoy this book might also appreciate another story about a bear: [[Finding Winnie: The Story of the Real Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh by Lindsay Mattick and Sophie Blackall]].
