Praise for The House Rabbit

A modern-day 'Chicken-Licken'

Susan Elkin, Independent on Sunday

An excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.

Simeon Elliott, Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies

For tinies, try The House Rabbit with its pretty pale green and lilac, chatty, busy illustrations.

Susan Elkin, Independent on Sunday

Includes plenty of splendid, vocabulary-enhancing verbs such as "streaked", "tottered" and "padded".

It's a lovely story to share with young children, especially those of a nervous disposition who may well see some of their fears allayed.

Cheryl Pasquier, Mad House Family Reviews

The illustration is clean, characterful and beautifully detailed - you can virtually watch those whiskers twitching in alarm. I had the distinct feeling that at any moment The House Rabbit was going to leap right into life, off the page and be running around my feet! This book's a keeper.

Doghouse, Amazon

The tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story and cleverly controlled story. Cleverly controlled and patterned too are the suitably sombre illustrations and the fear in rabbit’s eyes is palpable. Superb and I specially love the ending.

With its built-in repetition, the tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story ... Superb, and I specially love the ending.
