Ready! said Rabbit cover

Rabbit and his dad are going to the park, but will they ever be ready to leave the house? Find out in this tender and humorous family comedy where each has to be patient and tolerant with the other, and finally both are ready for fun! As the tension mounts, children will relate to the familiar drama, and adults will recognise the need for mindfulness in everyday life. This book celebrates a child's relationship with his dad, and will get children joining in with cries of 'Ready!' Marjoke Henrichs' debut 'No! said Rabbit' was shortlisted for the Booktrust Storytime Prize and been translated into twelve languages

'Getting ready for a day out will be a familiar scenario for many young children and this funny picture book is sure to strike a chord with any adult who has experienced similar delays when attempting to leave the house. There are plenty of repetitive phrases to encourage children to join in and colourful illustrations present an alternative, visual narrative, which injects further humour and adds an extra layer of meaning to the entertaining tale.' Booktrust;'Henrichs again perfectly depicts the joyful chaos and confusion that make up so much of a toddler's life, alongside the delight they find in the simplest of things, and her representation of the adult-child relationship is also beautifully observed and tender... another perfect book for the very young.' Books for Keeps;'With punchy illustrations, big text on large pages, and clever inferential plot cues, this text is spot on to read aloud.' School Reading List;Young children will love sharing this story with their families. Exclamations of "Ready!" will ring out as they giggle at Rabbit's antics and the situations that are so similar to their own lives.' Scope for the Imagination
