Hi, All You Rabbits

I bought this book for a friend (it was her son's favorite!) Children will love the repitition (with slight changes each time) and the drawings.

This was the first book I read on my own, to my mother. I can still remember being in her bedroom, with the sunlight streaming through the window, onto me and my book. Such magic to be able to unlock the secrets of a book. Such pride. An old fashioned book, great for any young child beginning to read. Wonder who even knows of it these days.

I had this book for my two daughters when they were young and we all loved it. Our favorite greeting (among family members) is still, Hi, all you rabbits! Now my two granddaughters (ages 5 and 6) are loving it also. Even though I found it again a little too late for them to learn to read with it, they still just hooted with laughter when we sat down to look it over. Now every time one of them calls or e-mails Granny the conversation opens with Hi, all you rabbits. Tradition is a wonderful thing. This is a lovely book. It is gentle and totally non-threatening in any way. Just a pure joy to share with a child. It also enables children to read it themselves because of the format of repetition. Bright eyes and big smiles all around!

This was the very first book that I learned how to read all by myself. What great pride I had in being able to read to Mommy for a change. I highly recommend this book for a pre-schooler learning how to read. Hi all you (insert animal here) what do you do? Is all throughout the book so that the pre-schooler can learn by repetition what the words mean. There are some very cute illustrations to show what all of the animals and at the end children do.
