Review:
In this celebration of reading, a giddy brown and white rabbit capers through the woods, singing the praises of his little storybook. From the way his book looks and feels, to the places he can go in it, to the fantastical characters he can meet, the bookworm bunny thoroughly enjoys his tiny tome. Anita Jeram, illustrator of Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You, brings to life another lovable bunny in this jaunty romp. The playful illustrations show friendly lions, a vibrant lake, and a tree-palace where Beauty lies sleeping while unicorns graze below. Unfortunately, the narrative is rather insipid, and the rabbit's repeated accolades are cloying. Children may be able to get beyond that more easily than their parents, and everyone should enjoy the concept of adventuring through the magic of the written (and illustrated) word. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
