Rude Rabbit shouts at people, nicks their sweets without saying "please" or "thank you" and generally rubs people up the wrong way. Then one day he meets Honey Bunny and it's love at first sight. "Gimme a kiss!" he shouts. But Honey Bunny is not interested in such impolite overtures and just sticks her pretty pink nose in the air and walks off. Daft Dog suggests that a visit to the library might help Rude Rabbit improve his manners and help him make himself some friends. Rude Rabbit is converted and decides that everyone should have good manners -- "And I'm just the rabbit to show them!" So he sets up the Rude Rabbit Rudeness Roadshow and goes on tour. AGE 3-7

After trying to get his kite out of a tree by rather unorthodox methods, he finds himself being whisked off to hospital in an ambulance.
