About This Book

Reach for this book when your little one is bursting with physical energy or feeling a bit shy about joining a group of peers. It is a perfect choice for those 'wiggles and giggles' moments when a child needs to move their body to process their emotions. The story follows a group of bunnies who love to play and dance together, only to be interrupted by a silent fox who just wants to belong. Beyond the rhythmic fun, it beautifully addresses the anxiety of being an outsider and the warmth of inclusive friendship. The lilting rhymes and energetic illustrations make it an ideal read for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning how to welcome others into their play. It is a gentle, joyful lesson in empathy that feels like a game rather than a lecture.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A brief moment of tension when the fox appears, as foxes are traditional predators of rabbits.

Sensitive Topics

The book touches on the fear of 'the other' through the predator/prey dynamic of the fox and bunnies, but the approach is entirely metaphorical and secular. The resolution is hopeful and reinforces that appearances can be deceiving.
