'Sophie's toy rabbit had long, lollopy ears and long, lollopy arms and long, lollopy legs...' The illustrations of Sophie's dangly-limbed toy rabbit and of the family of rabbits who find him and patch him up after Sophie leaves him behind in the bluebell wood are irresistible. Josie Lawrence's narration is exactly on little Sophie's wavelength. The music and sound effects, like Sophie's feet brushing the bluebells and the owl hooting during Lollopy's lonely night, brighten the tape. It's a captivating package for young listeners and readers and makes particularly cosy bedtime reading.
