Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-A father rabbit and his young bunny enjoy outdoorsy things together, just the two of them. They rake leaves in the fall, play in the snow in winter, jaunt through the meadow in spring, and pick up shells from the beach during the summer. Finally, they go camping and fall asleep under the stars. The interesting layout includes double-flap pages, which continue the poetic text and the painterly, pastel watercolors. As each scene of togetherness is revealed, children will delight in discovering what the cozy twosome will be doing next.

We love this dad book. Right now its the only bedtime book our son will let us read to him. Each page has a flap that extends out, so the picture, and the story, continues with each fold. It goes through each season, plus a day and night page at the end. And its all the things my husband and I can't wait to do with our son- camping, bike riding, hiking, playing in the ocean, snow and fall leaves.

And the pictures are great water color paintings- you can see the brush strokes.

This book has terrific pictures and a great story. The rhyming words make this story just flow. At the side of the page there is a tri-fold to open. Both the fold outs have words and the page. It's a super cute story that can be used with the seasons theme, or the dad theme, or the rabbit theme.....As a "seasoned" preschool teacher I highly recommend it! I am so glad that I ordered it!!
