Rabbit on the Rampage by Lorna Watson

Rabbit has a very special curly carrot — her absolute favourite snack in the whole world. Nothing could ever replace it. Not a cauliflower. Not a pea. And definitely not an aubergine!

But when Rabbit’s beloved carrot suddenly goes missing, she becomes extremely upset. Convinced that someone must have taken it, Rabbit storms around the forest bursting into rooms and accusing her friends — Mouse, Hedgehog and Badger — of stealing her precious vegetable.

As Rabbit’s frustration grows, so does the chaos. But when the truth finally comes out, Rabbit learns an important lesson about friendship, patience and jumping to conclusions.

Rabbit on the Rampage, written by Lorna Watson, is a funny and energetic picture book filled with humour, expressive characters and an engaging mystery that young readers will love.
