PreSchool-Grade 1. Rabbits on the range doesn't mean what's for dinner. These furry critters are cowboys who "Start at sunup/Work all day/Roping cows/Tossing hay." Loomis continues their adventures with whooping and hollering in easy, metered, a-b-c-b rhyme-scheme quatrains. The bunnies go the cowboy way all day, and then when evening comes, they kiss their Mamas and say good night. This is a rollicking addition to the genre of bedtime reading for the very young, surely destined to become a favorite. Eitan's gouache illustrations are painted on plywood slats often resembling fence pickets. The wood grain clearly shows through, adding texture and interest to the areas where paint is either laid on thick or thinly brushed. This novelty can also be extended into art classrooms as a model, thus stretching the age group that will enjoy this book.?Ruth Semrau, formerly at Lovejoy School, Allen, TX
