they appeared. Oh yes, and the red tractor too… always a toddler crowd pleaser. When Mummy showed up to read the words he appreciated the animal story if not the toilet humour of Rupert’s efforts to lay an egg that result in … well, not an egg and I don’t think you need me to explain what he did produce.
There’s a fair amount of story and words in 'Rabbit’s Don’t Lay Eggs!’. This is a board book for toddlers , not babies. Theillustrations are sweet although not especially distinctive. The layout varies from full page pictures to comic strip splits. There’s a roll call of animals and a build as Rabbit finds out what each of them does. A bit of toilet humour (you are never too young) and two lively characters in the form of Rupert and the bossy and ever so slightly irritating, Dora Duck, give some substance to the story. There’s a positive message too – keep on trying and you too can find your talent.
Rabbits can’t lay eggs but they CAN do lots of other really useful things; this includes winning over a toddler, if not a Mummy suffering farm yard fatigue.
If your little one is a farmyard fiend with a penchant for tractors, my toddler suggests that you take a look at [[Following The the Tractor by Susan StegallSteggall]]. If you're looking for another board book, try [[Farm by Surya Sajnani]].
