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
