PART 1: SUMMARY Plot/Theme: If a pair of baby rabbits are put into a field, how many pairs will there be: a) At the end of each month? b) After one year? A family of rabbits soon supplies the answer in this funny story! Hop along to Fibonacci’s Field and follow Lonely and Chalk Rabbit through a year as they try to cope with their quickly expanding brood. By March theres a pair of baby rabbits. By May there are five pairs, by July 13 pairs and by October there are 55. The final pop-up spread shows exactly what is meant by a rabbit problem. Characters: Rabbits and more rabbits (and even more rabbits). Setting: Fibonacci’s field ( A rural setting in England - a farmer’s field).

Personal Connections: I have long delighted in Emily Gravett’s books. Particularly, I have been drawn to her sense of humour and enchanting illustrations. I was first enraptured by The Rabbit Problem because of the incredible detail, whimsical humour and novelty elements in the book. What
