Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K?The hares of Baker's Gray Rabbit's 1, 2, 3 and Brown Rabbit's Shape Book (both Kingfisher, 1994) are back. In a departure from the straight concept book theme, Brown Rabbit appears in a simple story. He invites friends over to play and prepares Jell-O molds complete with fruits and vegetables. There is plenty of opportunity here for color or object identification, as well as for counting and even telling time. In Gray Rabbit, youngsters join in the bunny's search for his favorite book. Readers are asked to spot the odd item in each scene (a paintbrush among teacups, a yellow duck among purple toys), and it is identified on the following page. The focus then changes to sorting blocks by color and building them into a square, wall, tower, and finally a chair, where Gray is asleep with his book in his lap. In both titles, the drab rabbits contrast nicely with the cheerful acrylic hues that make up the rest of each illustration. Interesting and amusing details in each picture add to the appeal. Instructional titles that are lots of fun for prereaders.?Marsha McGrath, Clearwater Public Library, FL

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Little Rabbit Book!, June 10, 2000

This review is from: Gray Rabbit's Odd One Out (Little Rabbit Books) (Hardcover)

My kids love Gray Rabbit, the illustrations are so vivid. My two year old and four year old love to find the "wrong thing" as rabbit organizes his toys. We just got it yesterday and have already read it at least half a dozen times.

This review is from: Gray Rabbit's Odd One Out (Paperback)

In this addition to Baker's Rabbit series, Gray Rabbit is trying to find his favorite book. He can't find it because all of his stuff is messed up. So he sorts through everything arranging his things into piles where they belong. However, in each pile there is one item that is out of place. This oddball leads to Rabbit's next arrangement until finally he has gone through everything and found his book. Kids love Alan Baker's Rabbit books and with the brilliant colors, vivid shapes, and concept lessons that they help teach, parents will enjoy the books as well. Great book for preschool to kindergarten children.
