Blue Rabbit and Friends

We picked this book randomly at the library and have since bought it because it is so wonderful. The pictures are arresting and artistic while still very appealing to the young child. The story is cute and amusing and is about sharing and problem solving. My daughter is 3 and she absolutely loves this book and has memorized the whole thing. I recommend it for any child from age 2 on up.

My children and I all enjoyed this book for a number of reasons. At first glance, it's a classic children's tale, simply told and beautifully illustrated (with gorgeous block prints in eye-catching colors.) We all quickly realized that things were not as they seemed (and were described in the book), which gave the book a delightful "inside joke" appeal that even my youngest (age 3) child understood. Finally, the author avoids the obvious, pat ending with a wonderful last-page surprise. We have read this book over and over and would recommend it to anyone!
