5.0 out of 5 stars A classic alphabet book., May 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The ABC Bunny (Mass Market Paperback)

A small book on the alphabet which tells a story in rhyme of a bunny going home. It was a 1934 Newbery Honor book (i.e., runner-up to the Medal winner) for best contribution to American children's literature. Wanda Gág (1893-1946) was a well-known illustrator and writer of children's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars abc bunny, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ABC Bunny (Hardcover)

What a lovely book for young children. ABC Bunny creatively displays the alphabet in story form. In the little bunny's many encounters with other critters it lays the groundwork for a great nature study. There is a cute little song for children who like to sing as well as be read to! The illustrations are enticing and full of action. Written in a very original way to introduce the alphabet to young children, I hope that this book will soon be back in print so that we can continue to share it with others.
