A delightful read with a lesson within

The "Little Rabbit" series of books are wonderful for preschoolers and early readers. The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed, the text is simple and easy to read, perfect for early readers and also for reading aloud. In this book, Little Rabbit celebrates his birthday with his family - they all take a trip to Rabbit World, a huge amusement park. Little Rabbit exhibits the typical characteristic of a little child who is getting older - fierce independence! He goes about on his own, refusing to listen to his parents' advice to stay close in case he gets lost, and lo and behold, that is exactly what happens to him! There is a good lesson to be learnt in this story - little ones will learn caution and the importance of listening to their elders and paying attention. But the lesson is presented in a fun way with Little Rabbit's antics eliciting much laughs. All in all, this is a wonderful book to be shared with preschoolers and beginner readers.

Great story and illustrations

My 3 year old loved this book and wanted it every night. She identified with the little rabbit growing up and wanting to be independent, and of course the happy ending at the end. The pictures are very detailed and she loved to point out little details like the mice houses at the tree base and the giant mushrooms.

Adorable Children's Book for Your Big Kid

Little Rabbit couldn't be happier that his birthday is finally here, and it's a bigger birthday than ever for him, as he is no longer little, but a big rabbit now. Little Rabbit quickly opens his gifts, and is quite satisfied with them, especially with the big red balloon, and the tickets for his whole family to visit the theme park Rabbit World. However, Little Rabbit is nothing but frustrated at Rabbit World, for he is unable to go on the jungle gym or roller coasters due to his small size. Soon Little Rabbit has wandered away from his family to take a peek at the other rides that Rabbit World has to offer, and realizes that he is lost, and suddenly sees that he's not as grown-up as he originally thought he was. It is a known fact that young children always want to feel grown-up, which is why Harry Horse's LITTLE RABBIT LOST is the absolute perfect addition to a home with young children, male or female, as it teaches them the lesson that wandering away from their parents, or elders, will quickly get them in a bind. The short amount of words on each page of LITTLE RABBIT LOST is perfect for children with short attention spans, and the illustrations will quickly have them wanting to know more about Little Rabbit. This is an adorable book for all. Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper

This is a wonderful book. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend any book by Harry Horse.

Great for you preschooler who wants to be a big kid

I bought this book for my three and a half year old daughter. The story centers around Little Rabbit who is having a birthday. As a special treat mommy and daddy rabbit pack up the family and take them to the Rabbit World amusemant park. Little Rabbit is very excited to go but his happiness turns to disappointment as he learns that he is too little to go on some of the rides that he wants. In his frustration he rushes ahead and gets seperated from the family. Once he is lost he realizes that he is not the big rabbit he thought he was. Of course Little Rabbit's mommy finds him and the book ends on a happy note as the family celebrates Little Rabbits birthday with a picnic and cake. This book really struck a chord with me because like Little Rabbits mommy I see my three year old daughter daily experience frustrations about being too little to do something. My daughters favorite expression to use is babies need help and big girls don't need help. She always says this to me whenever I try to assist her with one of her struggles. It is a constant challenge to make her realize that it is okay to accept help. Before I had a child I never realized how determined nad independent preschoolers can be. Both my daughter and I love to read this book together. The illustrations are so adorable. We especially love going over all of the rides at Rabbit World. I highly recommend this book to all parents of preschoolers.
