What Small Rabbit Heard

Toddlers and parents everywhere will recognise Small Rabbit's lack of enthusiasm as the story opens. He just doesn't want to go for a walk and he comes up with all sorts of excuses to stay indoors. But Big Rabbit is having none of it. She bundles him into his coat and out they go, with Small Rabbit shivering and grumbling as he shuffles along. Perhaps it is because he is too far behind Big Rabbit. Perhaps it is because the wind is howling, but when Big Rabbit says, 'Try to keep up!' what Small Rabbit hears is 'Jump in the mud!', and so he does. In fact, everything Big Rabbit says, thanks to the wind, turns from a rather hum drum instruction into something much more exciting, and Small Rabbit finds himself having a really wild time.
