Rabbit's feeling sleeping and would really like a nap, but her friends in Acorn Wood seem intent on keeping her awake. Will weary Rabbit ever get a snooze?
This story follows poor tired Rabbit on her quest to rest. Rabbit tries nodding off in all the usual snuggly sleep spots, but her commotion causing friends are never far away. I warn you now, this is a tough read at the end of a long day after a sleepless night! Nonetheless, Rabbit's Nap had been affectionately read and enjoyed literally hundreds of times with my Miss and Master.
The lift-the-flap board book is durable, although after a great deal of 'love' our copy has many tenderly taped up flaps, chewed corners, and scratches and bends where little fingers have eagerly helped to tell Rabbit's story. Miss and Master engage in the short, repetitive rhyme of Rabbit's Nap and enjoy calling out all the sound nouns. Simple, colourful illustrations reveal non-sleep related details of Rabbit's home, providing even more opportunities for dialogue and 'can you point to the...' games.
Bottom line: Rabbit's Nap receives a resounding recommendation from this family!
