Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Rhyming Rabbit
Joan Stimson · 1989
66/100
👎 Skip It
The premise — a rabbit who can only speak in rhyme, whose family learns to embrace his quirk — is genuinely charming and the Ladybird editorial pedigree is a real quality signal. The problem is that the book is out of print, difficult to find, and so lightly documented today that there is little to verify beyond the premise. A lovely find if you come across a copy, but not worth hunting down as a primary recommendation.
