About this deal

Fewer and fewer people are eating rabbit and this has its reasons. … Rabbit meat was cheap and sometimes the only meat that would end up on people’s tables in a whole month. Rabbits then were fleshy, meaty and corpulent animals. Today’s pets are lean and cuddly and don’t invite you to put them on your plate. Does Sainsbury sell rabbit? 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. Funnily enough, I find it harder to write not in verse, though I feel I am now getting the hang of it! My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. As a next step activity to making the rhyming strings, we had fun playing with real objects that sounded the same but didn’t necessarily all have the same spelling patterns. For example, “bear and chair” which sound the same but are not spelt the same. This was an entirely auditory activity, placing emphasis on listening, discriminating and matching sounds, rather than writing them down or reading them, so it still comes as an early step in the process in understanding about rhyme.

I think this book would be a good book to read aloud to children in the early years and lower key stage one. There is a simple repetitive rhyme while the rabbit is digging the tunnel which allows for whole class participation and children to engage with poetry. In addition to this, the book could also be used to aid the learning of different animals in the early years. 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. I put together a very simple and easy activity using a large basket and some small toys from various Playmobil, Sylvanian Families and other small sets. I made simple pairs of rhyming objects and then mixed them all up to be found and matched. 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

After this Cakie wanted to add more objects to rhyme with those already in the box and went around the house looking for some to put in.

I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. The meaning “pretty woman” is sometimes used with disparaging intent and perceived as insulting. For instance, a beach bunny is an alluring female who frequents the beach only to meet male surfers. But bunny was originally (and still is) used as a term of endearment for a girl or young woman. What is White rabbit slang for?
