The Rhyming Rabbit

Product Information

Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta. Meant "young rabbit" until the 19th c., when it came to replace the original general term coney, owing to the latter's resemblance to and use as a euphemism for cunny, "vulva" (cf. ass and donkey). Assyrian Neo-Aramaic: ܐܲܪܢܒ݂ܵܐ‎ m ( ārnwa ), ܟܸܪܘܝܼܫ‎ ( kirwīš ) Classical Syriac: ܐܪܢܒܐ‎ f ( ʾarnəḇā ), ܠܐܓܘܣ‎ m ( lāḡōs ) To make learning more concrete and playful, we always like to make the activity using manipulatives and as playful as possible. We all learn best while touching, moving and doing, rather than looking at a worksheet or set of 2D images! Hindi: ख़रगोश m ( xargoś ), शशक (hi) m ( śaśak ), सुस्सा ( sussā ), खरहा (hi) ( kharhā ), खरगोश (hi) m ( khargoś )

Greek: κουνέλι (el) n ( kounéli ) Ancient: δασύπους m ( dasúpous ), λεβηρίς f ( lebērís ), ( Koine ) κούνικλος m ( koúniklos ) I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. This is a fun story about a rabbit who likes to make up rhymes about everything and anything! Unfortunately for him, his other rabbit friends find his incessant need to make up rhymes about everything incredibly irritating and keep telling him to stop doing it.I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.

rabbit ( third-person singular simple present rabbits, present participle rabbiting, simple past and past participle rabbited) One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. Then they placed the rhyming objects into pairs and we jumped along the line, saying them together again. “A fox and a box, a man and a fan, a dog and a frog!” etc This book is the story of a rabbit who likes to make up poems about his surroundings and events that happen to him. Unfortunately for him, none of his family or friends appreciates his rhymes. They find it annoying when he recites his poetry aloud as they try to sleep so the Rhyming Rabbit decides to dig himself a long burrow and set off on a night time adventure, reciting poetry as he goes. I really liked this book due to the clever rhyming and captivating illustrations which make engagement with the book easy for young children.I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. In the burrow he meets a worm and a mole but they too don’t appreciate his rhymes. It’s not until he digs his way out of the earth and into a field where he meets a friendly sheep that he finally finds a friend who likes rhymes as much as he does. The Rhyming Rabbit and the sheep spend the whole night and the next day making up new rhymes together. When he has to leave, the Rhyming Rabbit vows to return again the next day to see his new friend.
