Children enjoy lifting the flaps, joining in with the funny noises and finding out who is disturbing Rabbit. They often return to the short, cheerful story because it is easy to follow and fun to act out together.
What does the Pageticker team say about Rabbits Nap?
We enjoy the gentle repetition, simple rhymes and playful lift-the-flap surprises as Rabbit searches for somewhere quiet to sleep. The noisy interruptions make this an engaging read-aloud for babies and toddlers, especially when grown-ups bring the sounds to life. It suits sharing at bedtime or storytime; very young children may need help handling the flaps carefully.
