Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1. In Arnosky's shimmering world, five bunnies emerge from their nest under the hedge for the very first time. Romping in the sun-drenched fields, meeting grasshoppers, spiders, and bees, the baby rabbits' curiosity is evident even as they stick close to their mother. A sudden storm causes them to hurry back and huddle inside their shelter, where other animals join them as they watch honeybees fly between the raindrops. Then the rain stops and the six reemerge to "play rabbit tag in the sun." The simple text carries readers along rhythmically and naturally as the day unfolds. Drawn from the animals' perspective, the glowing illustrations are precise in their depiction of the wildlife; the bright, vibrant watercolors flow from hot yellows and luminescent greens to the muted blues of rain. Each double-page spread draws readers into this fulfilling microcosmic view of the natural world. Perfect for story-time or lap-time reading, this book will give children a feeling of security and contentment.?Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI

From Booklist
Ages 3^-7. Five baby rabbits get their first chance to explore the inviting world outside their nest. They follow their mother onto the grass, taste clover, and meet grasshoppers and bees. Their adventure is cut short by a rain shower, and since "a rabbit's fur is not waterproof," the mother hustles her little ones back under the hedge, where they watch the rain with interest and share their shelter with other wild creatures. Arnosky eschews the cutsey (it's "baby rabbits," never "bunnies") for the rich beauty of rain and new baby rabbits and, as always, gives young readers a nature adventure that is simple, satisfying, and utterly straightforward. Susan Dove Lempke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Pictures Contemporary Feeling, August 31, 2001
Jim Arnosky's Rabbits and Raindrops brings to mind many classic picture books. It has a charming story coupled with pictures that betray the artist as a true lover of authentic naturalism. My children love this tale and it is one of my favorites as well.

By A Customer
This review is from: Rabbits and Raindrops (Hardcover)
My 4 year old daughter loves this book! She really enjoys finding all of the creatures hiding throughout the story. The best part is the ending- it makes her giggle every time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rabbits and Raindrops, November 6, 2004
This lovely book chronicles the experiences of a family of baby rabbits on their first day out of the nest. They frolic on the grass, nibble clover blossoms and leaves, and meet spiders, grasshoppers, and bees. Then a rainstorm materializes, and mother and baby bunnies seek shelter under a hedge. The shower ends and the rabbit family is off again to explore and play in the sun. The simple text is perfectly complemented by Arnosky's beautiful watercolor illustrations. Arnosky's paintings show that he is a great lover of nature. This book is great for young children.
