Synopsis

Join rabbit as he eats the farmer's carrots, sneaks past a waiting owl and snuggles up in a burrow with his family. But what happens when Spring approaches and he meets a pretty doe? This bright, engaging board book follows a simple story about a little rabbit in the wild and is the perfect first introduction to nature for little ones. Each page features bright, bold illustrations and includes a window or a flap to encourage children to read on and discover what happens next.

About this title

Review:

"Though the text is spare, a few facts are sprinkled in. Each animal briefly offers an upbeat description of itself before finding a mate and producing offspring. Softly rounded pastel illustrations make lovely use of texture. A bit of sly humor sneaks in -- with a page turn, the die-cut holes of the flowers in one image transform into the rabbit's waste; leaping through a field, the bunny gleefully proclaims, 'My droppings are round.' Enticing rudimentary introductions to nonfiction texts." - Mahnaz Dar for School Library Journal
