—— Carly , Fiction Fascination blogWith its built-in repetition, the tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story ... Superb, and I specially love the ending.
—— Jill Bennett , Red Reading HubIt's a lovely story to share with young children, especially those of a nervous disposition who may well see some of their fears allayed.
—— Cheryl Pasquier , Mad House Family ReviewsFor tinies, try The House Rabbit with its pretty pale green and lilac, chatty, busy illustrations.

—— Carly , Fiction FascinationThe tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story and cleverly controlled story. Cleverly controlled and patterned too are the suitably sombre illustrations and the fear in rabbit’s eyes is palpable. Superb and I specially love the ending.
—— Jill Bennett , Jill R Bennett's Reviews of Children's BooksThe illustration is clean, characterful and beautifully detailed - you can virtually watch those whiskers twitching in alarm. I had the distinct feeling that at any moment The House Rabbit was going to leap right into life, off the page and be running around my feet! This book's a keeper.
—— Doghouse , AmazonAn excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.
