Ralfy and Rodney are off to their favourite place in the world: the library. But, when they arrive they are met with empty shelves and a sign saying, 'Library closing tomorrow'! Miss Page, the librarian, sadly tells them that with no-one using the library, it has to close; the only chance of saving it from closure is a magic dragon! Rodney and Ralphy are left with no choice; the race is on to find a dragon.
Follow Ralfy and Rodney as they scour the local area, gaining the help of friends and the local community as they progress. Will they find the answer? And will the support of locals help in the saving of the library?
HELP! Ralfy Rabbit and the Great Library Rescue is a delightful tale which raises the awareness of library use and the importance of communities in an adventurous and colourfully illustrated way. A brilliant resource to model and promote community cohesion and collaboration.
