PreSchool-Grade 1—Hopscotch, the young bunny introduced in
Rabbit Ears (Bloomsbury, 2006), has cleaner ears and a new dilemma. He may be brave when it comes to bugs and Band-Aids, but the prospect of an evening with a babysitter causes his tummy to hurt. When his parents reluctantly leave him with Mrs. Honeybunch—a warm, bespectacled caregiver complete with green sneakers and a bag of knitting—he retreats unhappily to his "No Babysitters Allowed" fort. Fortunately, Mrs. Honeybunch has a few tricks up her cardigan sleeve, and before the night is over, Hopscotch's tummy feels better and he is eagerly awaiting her next visit. Sweet and comically expressive cartoon illustrations work well with the text to bring punch and feeling to the story. While resolution to Hopscotch's issue comes a little too easily, this gentle and appealing book would work well for sharing with young children regardless of their positions on babysitters.—
