We got it through literati.
We're sending it back.
There isn't enough substance to this. My kiddo's attention was not captured

Liked the illustrations, didn't think the wordplay was that great.

Ribbit Rabbit by Candace Ryan is about a frog and a bunny who are best friends. They do everything together until they have a falling out. Trying to go their own way doesn't work out either.
Their actions are illustrated with short i and short a words, most of which rhyme with the title. For example: zip it, zap it. But when the two are squabbling, they swap words.
The book is a good introduction to blending sounds for children who are pre-reading. For children who have moved up to Easy Readers might find the book too simplistic — that was the case with my daughter.

Great story about friends and when things are good and friends when they are not as good... and robots. I think I would like Ribbit Rabbit (& Robot) socks... a.k.a. great illustrations too.

I actually read this back in September but guess I forgot to mark it at that time. This is really different from Candace's first book Animal House. Yet, I enjoyed it a lot as well. Ribbit and Rabbit struggle over a toy. Fun lesson learned.

Frog and Bunny are the best of friend. They swim together. Fight monsters together. Even share peanut butter sandwiches. But sometimes something happens and they stop getting along. Like when they find a robot with a key. One of them ends up with the robot, the other with the key. And they don’t want to share. After a bit of alone time though, they come together ready to share and have fun once again.
Ryan’s text is such fun to read aloud. It trips, gallops, dashes and dances on the tongue. The rhythm of the book is a delight and the silly rhymes add joy to the book. It is impossible to read it without grinning.
Lowery’s illustrations have a wonderful modern, fresh feel to them. Done in pencil, screen printing and print gocco, they are finished digitally. They have a simplicity that works well here. The soft colors have an intriguing pop to them and the texture from the screen printing adds to the appeal.
Highly recommended, this is a top choice for toddler and preschool story times. Appropriate for ages 2-4.

A frog and a rabbit are best friends, until they begin to fight. First they fight over small things and then they fight over big things and then they fight over everything.
The charm in this little story lies in the sound of the words in this little story. Rhyme-y without being sappy-sweet-rhyme-y. And truly charming.
“Frog and Bunny
are best friends.
RIBBIT RABBIT.
RABBIT RIBBIT.
They go swimming
together.
RIBBIT RABBIT.
DIP IT, DAB IT.”
A pre-K class who listened to the story liked the way the friends resolved their conflict.
