Now this is a book that many parents will identify with. :-)
Meet neat and fastidious Mr. Rabbit who chances upon a perfect blue egg. He decides to take it home to add to his collection. However, much to Mr. Rabbit’s dismay, the egg hatches and an icky, little duckling emerges. It calls him ‘mama’.
Mr. Rabbit’s life is turned upside down!
This is a perfect book, a gem, if I may say so. The text is light and lively and the illustrations are 'just so' right. :-)
Excerpt
Back in his burrow, Mr. Rabbit scrubbed and polished until everything was as neat as before.
His books were just so.
His boxes were just so.
And his collection was tip-top, totally just so.
