Little
Bunny on the Move
"Bunny, Bunny, the sky is turning black. Bunny,
Bunny, aren't you going back? Won't you stop to sleep,
Little Bunny?" Absolutely not. This bunny has places
to go, and no time to linger with five fat sheep or to
be someone's pet. Over train tracks, through meadows
and trees, the resolute rabbit presses on. No, this is
not the White Rabbit of Alice in Wonderland fame. It's
just an adorable bunny with an itch to go home. Young
homebodies will bask in the warmth of this simple story
about the allure of one's native soil. Peter McCarty's
soft gray-greens set a quiet tone, and his unusual style
with pencil and watercolors make the illustrations strikingly
original and appealing. The tiny bunny has a pudgy marshmallow
look that calls out for squeezing. It's no wonder the
little girl he passes wants to take him in. But "From
here to there, a bunny goes where a bunny must." (Ages
2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
