Bookroo's summary

Rabbit enjoys his solitary life until Froggie and his large family invade his peaceful home, eager to share in his nightly stories. Overwhelmed by the chaos, Rabbit sends them away, only to discover that reading alone isn't as fulfilling as he thought. Will Rabbit embrace the joy of sharing stories with friends, or return to his quiet solitude? This charming tale explores the unexpected delight of companionship and the magic of reading aloud, with humor and heart.

From the publisher

Rabbit lives alone. He cooks for himself, cleans up for himself, and at the end of the day, reads himself a story. It’s a simple life, and he likes it. But one evening, Froggie shows up at his door. He wants to listen to Rabbit’s story, too. While eating a snack-or three. While lounging on a pillow-or ten. And bringing over his family-dozens and dozens of frogs! Rabbit has finally had enough; Froggie will have to go! But when he sits down alone to read himself a story, Rabbit realizes something is missing: someone to listen; someone to share a wonderful story.

Keith Graves’ boisterous, humor-filled artwork lends just the right touch to this multilayered tale that celebrates the joy of reading aloud.
