Synopsis

Daisy's mum and dad are always too busy to listen to a word that she says, so when, one day, she tells them that a big purple rhino has just walked into the house and taken a chomp of her pancake, guess what? That's right - nobody listens! But there's a surprise in store for Mum and Dad when they discover that a big purple rhino has gone missing from the zoo. Perhaps they should have taken more notice of what Daisy had to say. Kids will love this funny story about a little girl and her most unlikely new friend.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"This tale proved to be an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of funny and charming moments as well." Family review, Scottish Book Trust
"The illustrations are wittily and boldly bright, enhancing the well-handed narrative in a fashion that will readily appeal to young readers." The School Librarian
"Offers a good-humoured warning to parents who don't listen... The massive, full-colour pictures make this a delicious book." The Independent on Sunday
"Anna Kemp's heart-warming story is told simply but with humour and emotion. And at the hands of Sara Ogilvie, all the characters are brought expressively to life. Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes is a cleverly paced story with a chilly twist at the end." The Scotsman
