Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K--Hopper is a tiny white hare with one blue-tipped ear. He is tired of winter, ice and snow, cold feet, and nothing but bark to eat, but his mother lovingly reassures him that the joys of spring will return. This quiet picture book has very little in the way of plot, but features a wealth of large, misty watercolors in lucious pastel shades that are as soft and cuddly as a child's favorite blanket. Hopper conveys the same all-encompassing sense of security and warmth as does that classic of the nursery by Margaret W. Brown, The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1972), and will be appreciated by the same audience. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Library, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

4.0 out of 5 stars Hopper, March 10, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hopper (Board book)

This is an adventure story for the little rabbit Hopper and his mother. Hopper likes to play with his friend Nick, who is also a little rabbit. It is hard for Hopper to live every day because he has to look for food in the cold snow while always being scared of being attacked by predators. He is taught many things from is mother and is constantly reminded of how to live day to day. It's a great story involving the furriest and cutest animals.
