season. But when he hatches a dastardly plot to steal Christmas,

illustrations, this classic seasonal story has become a favourite
for good reason and teaches readers the true meaning of Christmas.

Another classic in the best-selling series about Simon, a cheeky
little rabbit who knows just what he wants. Once there was a little
rabbit... "I'm not a LITTLE rabbit! I'm Super Rabbit!" Simon is not
afraid of anything. He's Super Rabbit! But one day when he goes out
to save the world, he comes across a situation he wasn't expecting.
Poor Buddy Brown. He didn't get enough sleep last night because of
his cat and now he is having a crazy day that's full of surprises.
With its rhyme and repetition and delightful illustrations, the
story reminds us in a fun, humorous way of the importance of a good
night's sleep. Brown's cat slept with him (and on him) and now he's
very tired. At breakfast he pours his cereal on the floor and eats
it with a fork. Instead of taking his backpack to school he takes
his cat Lucky. Lucky jumps onto Cool Rockin' Loretta's escaped pet
pig, and the whole class goes crazy chasing after the cat riding
the pig. Kids will want you to read this book to them again and
again and with its silly sounding tongue twister of a refrain, they
are sure to ask for it by name. Like any good children's book, this
one appeals to children and adults alike. You won't want to sleep
through this fun story.
