Synopsis

Ready Rabbit! It’s time to get ready!

That’s Ready Rabbit’s momma.

Ready Rabbit knows he should get up and get ready.

But there are so many more interesting things to do first.

Like . . . building spaceships,

and rescuing sea creatures,

and searching for law-breaking ‘bad guys’!

Ready Rabbit! Hurry up!

Oh, and get dressed for school....

Ready Rabbit Gets Ready! is for any kid with an active imagination...or anyone in need of a very good laugh.

About this title

About the Author:

Brenna is an award-winning journalist. A long-time editor for The Washington Post, she is currently the editor of National Geographic Explorer magazine. She lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband and two young sons.

From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 2—It's time for Ready Rabbit to get ready for school, but his imagination keeps getting the best of him. Momma calls to remind him to brush his teeth, eat his breakfast, and pack his school bag, but he'd rather build a spaceship, chase down bad guys in the Old West, or ride his imaginary motorcycle. Finally, "Ready Rabbit is ready for anything!" and he heads off to school. Maloney crafted her title character from a sock, and the artwork features him in posed photographs with various toys and accessories against a white background. This lends itself well to storytime crafts, and young readers are likely to find the pictures entertaining, particularly the photos of Ready Rabbit in his underwear, "going potty," and squirting toothpaste all over the floor. The photography may also appeal to fans of books like Rebecca Dudley's Hank Finds an Egg (Peter Pauper, 2013), though Ready Rabbit lacks the dreamy quality and detailed workmanship found in Hank. Children and families for whom morning routines are a struggle will especially appreciate the story, but while amusing, it is not an essential purchase.—Lauren Strohecker, McKinley Elementary School, Abington School District, PA
