Age range 3 to 6

Ready! Said Rabbit by Marjoke Henrichs is a delightful tale about a rabbit and his dad, who are preparing for a trip to the park. But the big question is, will they ever be ready to leave the house?

Everyone knows the experience of planning a trip, getting side-tracked during preparations, and finally reaching that stage of panic when misplaced items like glasses or house keys can't be found. Rabbit and his dad navigate all these hurdles and more in this tender and humorous family comedy.

The story highlights the necessity of patience and tolerance between the two, and ultimately, they both embrace the fun that awaits them.
