You're Finally Here by Melanie Watt

About the Book: A little rabbit is excited for a reader to finally show up, but then wonders what took so long.

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: This is a cute little picture book. The little rabbit is very excited that a reader has finally appeared, but soon after he starts demanding what took so long. He explains that waiting was "as rude as" and "as annoying as" and gives examples like talking with your mouth full, having toilet paper on your shoe, etc. It's a bit funny and I liked the illustrations a lot, but I think it'll be a bit of a bore for young readers who might not want to be scolded throughout a picture book. The joke of the rabbit then making the reader wait at the end may be lost on very young readers as well. I wish there had been a bit more to the story as well instead of just reading why rabbit had to wait.
