Leap, Hare, Leap!
Book Review
I like that the story is poem-y and I enjoyed saying ‘leap, hare, LEAP!’ at the end of every page!
I really love the pictures in this book. They look colourful and realistic, especially the Arctic Hare. The hare leaps to a different country to find its other hare friends. Hare needs to leap away from a fox, a coyote, an owl and humans, but she can do this because we learn that she can run very fast and leap high.
I didn’t know that a hare could run faster than Usain Bolt! I think all of my friends would like this book because you can read it then leap about like a hare.
About the Book
This charming book pays a lyrical visit to the many different types of hares seen around the world, from the fields of Britain to the forests of Japan. Through Dom Conlon’s poetry describing a world through the eyes of a hare leaping away from an unknown danger, the reader learns what makes each species of hare unique and how they survive in their natural habitats.
Children will enjoy learning new terminology and information through Dom’s use of rhyme and repetition . And at the end of the book there is a list of interesting facts and figures showing how remarkable hares are in all their diverse forms making it both a fun and educational choice of book.
