About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing a phase of frequent stumbles, minor accidents, or frustration with their own physical limitations. It is an ideal choice for the child who takes every scraped knee to heart and needs a playful reminder that we can all get back up again. This whimsical story follows a rabbit made of rubber who, unlike his fragile surroundings, simply bounces whenever he falls. Through simple, rhythmic text and charming illustrations, Allan Ahlberg captures the essence of resilience for the youngest readers. The book validates the reality of 'bumps' while modeling a joyful, fearless attitude toward exploration. It is a gentle tool for parents looking to build emotional grit and a sense of humor in a toddler who is just beginning to navigate the physical world.
