Author Michael Rosen and illustrator Robert Starling have created a book to play with that features a very wriggly little bunny that has they type of energy parents of toddlers will be familiar with!
This bunny is wriggly. They wriggle round and round, they wriggle on the ground, they wave their feet and drum out a beat, they just can't stop!
This playful book captures the excitable energy of a child who just can't sit still, joyfully moving from the familiar to the absurd, until they finally run out of steam.
The note to grown ups at the front of the book encourages adult readers to sing, chant or dance the words of the book. It's not hard to have fun with the rhyming text as the bunny wiggles, jiggles, joggles and juggles his way through this book!
Books with a strong rhyme and rhythm emphasise some of the sounds that make up words. Reading rhyming books is one of the ways you can help your child to learn to hear the smaller sounds in words. Your child will need this skill later on when they start to learn to read and need to sound out words.
