Mini Rabbit Not Lost

Product Information

Mini Rabbit’s blind enthusiasm for completing the cake takes him right past obvious solutions. I love that the berries are right below, but he’s off and the quest to find berries is on.

How often have we seen kids (or even us as adults) say “no thank you” to someone who has offered to help? Well, John Bond again captures this in how he reveals that others often see our plight before we do. This book seems to be about how sometimes we have to take that journey to figure it out for ourselves – as difficult as it may be. It could have exciting ingredients like your favourite food or dragon scales. How would it be decorated? As he charges off, he doesn’t hear Mother Rabbit say there are plenty of juicy berries on the bush underneath their tree house. Instead, he hurtles through fields and woods, rows across the sea to a lighthouse and even scales a snowy mountain in his fervent search for fruit. Mini Rabbit Must Help and Mini Rabbit Come Home were published in 2020 and 2021 respectively and complete this trilogy of witty adventures.You could find things that look like berries, draw and cut out some berry shapes, or scrunch up some bits of paper. Then ask someone to hide them for you to find.

But they have run out of berries and can't make the cake without them. Before Mother Rabbit can say there are berries growing under their tree house, Mini Rabbit has already rushed off on an adventure to find more berries. Mini Rabbit walks and walks and walks, further and further from berry woods. He doesn't notice any of the berries along the way and he won't take anyone's help. Finally he finds a big berry at the entrance to a cave, very far from his home. Mini Rabbit was not lost but now, definitely was. Suddenly he smelled something... cake! He followed the smell all the way home and gave the berry to Mother Rabbit. Now the cake was finished with a big berry on top. Does Mini Rabbit eat cake? No! He wants ice-cream. Activities

This month I’m looking forward to sharing MINI RABBIT NOT LOST, by John Bond, and the wonderful journey that we’re taken on. Today I want to talk about how John Bond is able to take capture childlike enthusiasm and the amazing adventures it can take us on.And John Bond makes sure that we know exactly how much Mini Rabbit likes cake or making the cake with his mother. Again, this helps us relate or understand Mini Rabbit’s desire to complete this cake when confronted with the fact of missing a key ingredient: Berries.

He went on to spend 7 years working for an award winning creative agency, designing and directing a multitude of projects for broadcast, digital, and interactive. I sure hope NOT LOST isn’t the only Mini Rabbit book that John Bond is going to do. I really enjoy this character John has created and how well he captured the enthusiasm a child can have when given the chance to help. For me, that’s the “thing” I want to really take away from this for my writing. I hope you’ll be able to find and capture that bit of life that we can all relate to and enjoy as well
