From the author of the worldwide bestseller Tickle My Ears, comes a companion, interactive board book about a child helping their rabbit feel better.

Oh no, Little Rabbit has hurt his arm. And there’s blood! Can you help him? Blow gently three times, try a band-aid, a rhyme, but he’s still crying… Let’s give his ears a stroke and wipe his tears. There, all better! Off you go, Little Rabbit!

This sweet and simple board book invites children to help Little Rabbit feel better after he has fallen over, by taking part in a fun activity on each page.

Designed to be read aloud together, this fun book teaches toddlers and preschoolers about caring for someone who is hurt, showing empathy and kindness. Young children will delight in their role in putting a smile back on bunny’s face. They’ll know what to do when they fall over now too.

Praise for Poor Little Rabbit
“This brilliant board book invites a child to ‘help’ someone else who’s hurting — which works wonders to induce a calmer state of mind. Little Rabbit has fallen down and scraped his arm, leaving a red mark. Your toddler is invited to “try blowing on it.” Uh-oh: On the next page, Little Rabbit wails, “There’s blood!” A Band-Aid (with bunnies on it, of course) appears. “Can you put it on?” comes next, but tears still stream down the distressed bunny’s face. And so on, until the bunny feels better — and, chances are, your toddler does too.”—The New York Times

“For the very smallest, Jörg Mühle’s beloved bunny returns in another perfectly judged interactive board book… it falls to the reader to console him with bandages, rhymes and ear-strokes, allowing toddlers to revel in their own kindness and maturity.”—The Guardian

School Library Journal

Baby-Toddler—Oh no! Little Rabbit has taken a tumble and hurt his arm. (And there’s blood!) The plaintive bunny gazes out tearfully, ears drooping, as an unseen narrator urges readers to apply a bandage, sing a nursery rhyme, stroke Little Rabbit’s ears, and wipe his nose until he’s all smiles again. Thick-lined, expressive images of the title character against bold backgrounds fill each page, accompanied by soothingly matter-of-fact text. Youngsters who have coped with owies of their own will enjoy getting to turn the tables and comfort the injured little one.
