"An interactive moral whodunnit for toddlers"
Quite often in these commendable days of healthy eating, very young children are almost more excited about being allowed birthday cake than by gifts and so they will definitely empathise with the unlucky bunnies whose cakes have disappeared! They will then absolutely delight in spotting and following the sticky trail left by the culprits across the stylishly illustrated pages.
The tendency to try to wriggle out of responsibility for wrongdoing is also a very relatable character trait and first Tiger, then Rhino and Flamingo try to shift the blame onto someone else. But delightfully, the bunnies have a surprise waiting for them when they make their sad way home. The culprits have made amends and cakes are waiting for them. The beaming smiles on the animal faces make it very clear that it is actually better to give than receive.
Yet there is one more surprise to come, when one bunny pipes up that someone has taken a bite out of their cake! Can the young readers work out what has happened? This will inspire lots of laughter as well as some positive discussions about right and wrong and how important it is to not just say you are sorry but to do something to show that you are sorry.
A must for nurseries and families alike.
