The Rabbit Listened

An excellent book for Both children and adults, wise in it's message and simplicity, we have now bought this for ourselves and others after getting it out the library originally. The sentences/ words are simple, but the message is powerful and beautifully told.

Such an awesome book. I’ve used this book in an educational setting on several occasions now. It’s truly beautiful and the graphics are delightful. It is excellent at addressing the topic of emotions and that sometimes it’s okay to just ‘be’. It discusses various emotions and reactions and is wonderfully well paced. I have bought numerous copies over the last couple of years as it’s a great book to give to someone who may be struggling with their emotions or feelings. Although set for a child it resonates with adults as well….and yes, I’ve got my own copy!!

This is a lovely book with lots of scope for discussion of emotions and how to understand sad and/or angry emotions. The text and illustrations are very good. I shared it with a seven-year-old who is having some difficulties with controlling emotions and asked for her view about the book and what age they felt it was suitabile for. She decided it was too upsetting for 6 year olds or younger, because it would make them feel very sad when the birds knocked down the beautiful building - it made her sad but she said she could deal with it because she was seven but could not have dealt with it when she was even a bit younger. She liked the rest of it but it did unsettle her a bit as she identified closely with the emotions that are still, for her (in different circumstances) still hard to manage. A useful book to have on hand for a range of children who are at that 5-8 stage of development.

This is such a beautiful heartwarming book. My almost 3 year old loves it so much (& so do I).

Perfect gift

Our favourite book! Lovely, warm and kind story about children's emotions. We have this title in our language and it was a time to buy and english copy

I love this book, its simple language and the different animals. I think it really helps to understand feelings when facing difficulties.

I adore this book, so simply and perfectly written. I want to buy it for everyone now! We all need people to just be our rabbit sometimes 💕

Recommended by a friend and I only wish we had it sooner. Teaches both children and parents a valuable lesson that sometimes you just have to sit and be there for someone.

Ma fille a adoré ce livre. Il permet de développer l'empathie lorsque quelqu'un est traversé par une émotion forte et de savoir quel comportement adopter. Les enfants s'identifient au personnage. Je recommande tant pour les enfants que pour les adultes.

Very nice book with very nice illustrations.

My toddler loves this book and it’s a great story for bedtime reading.

Muy instructivo y bonito. Al nene le encanta. Llegó enseguida
