Synopsis

The cutest couple of star-crossed rabbits craft the ultimate love letter with a little help from a family of mice in this charming story

FORMAT: Paperback book & CD
NARRATOR: Skip Hinnant

Tino and Teeny are two lovestruck bunnies living a mere hop, skip, and jump apart. If only they could overcome their shyness and be friends! Tino has an idea: leave a tender letter for Teeny in the hollow log. Soon after, Teeny has the same thought. But before each can discover the other's note, it starts to rain. And when a family of cold, wet mice seeks shelter in the log, what better to keep them warm than letters, chewed, chomped, and shredded just so?

Luckily, the sun returns and, realizing what they've done, the matchmaking mice help Tino and Teeny piece together their true feelings.

From AudioFile:

Two very shy bunnies work up the courage to profess their feelings for each other, but their letters go awry. Skip Hinnant's comical narrative presence enhances this sweet story. He gives the bunnies their own voices and imbues their letters with all their restrained longing for each other. Hinnant's playful reading is further enhanced by a sprightly musical backdrop. The high-pitched voices of a helpful mouse family bring additional fun to this production, as do sound effects such as the "plop" of raindrops. The accompanying book's whimsical illustrations are equally delightful. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
