It's Little Rabbit's first day at school. He decides his favourite toy, Charlie Horse, wants to start school too, so they set off together. Before they've even got to school, Charlie Horse has made Little Rabbit eat his whole packed lunch and then proceeds to create mischief all day - galloping when he should be listening and jumping in the cake mix. Little Rabbit gets very upset when Charlie Horse leads him away from his new friends on a nature walk and they find themselves all alone in the wood ... But Little Rabbit's teacher and friends find them and Little Rabbit goes home happy, looking forward to his next day at school - having decided Charlie Horse isn't ready to start school and can stay at home!

Review:

..".perfectly captures the wonder and exuberance of a child on the cusp between toddler and big kid, taking first steps toward independence."

"Youngsters just starting school will find Little Rabbit's ups and downs highly familiar as he navigates a rocky first day, perpetually in motion, adorable in his trademark ear-shaped cap and red raincoat."

"Horse distills a universal experience into an amusing story with distinct characters and delightful detail... Utterly engaging and ultimately reassuring."

"Fashioned in warm colors, the watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations are wonderful...No matter how many titles you have on this topic, be sure to make room for Little Rabbit."
