Te Reo Maori Language

Once there was a little rabbit who could only say one thing…

In the morning his mother would say, ‘Time to get up, my little rabbit!’ He’d reply: ‘Poo bum!’
At lunchtime his father would say, ‘Eat your spinach, my little rabbit!’ He’d reply: ‘Poo bum!’

One day, he meets a hungry wolf. Will the little rabbit learn his lesson once and for all?

Lucy: "Everyone loves Simon - the little rabbit that just can't stop saying "poo bum!" ... and now he can also say "paraweta!". A huge favourite with my niece and nephew (who both have te reo Maaori as their first language); the word paraweta was new to them when they first met this book but it is now one of their favourite insults for each other!"
