Jennifer's Rabbit

In this little charmer the beautiful illustrations and the spritely lyrics that form the text share in the making of magic in equal proportion. Go along with Jennifer as she and her rabbit, a turtle, a kangaroo and seventeen monkeys from the city zoo take a wonderful journey o'er land and sea along the mysterious coasts of dreamland. The jaunty rhythm of the lyrics builds an atmosphere of adventure and fun while the pure poetry of the dreamy words sweeps us along with the action. The pictures are filled with waves, sea spray, pearly foam, glittering stars, castles and sailing ships with red sails. Tucked under cozy covers with this lovely story dancing in their hearts, little sleepy-heads will be off to dreamland themselves in no time! I love this book!

Jennifer's rabbit runs away one night and she chases after it with the help of her other stuffed animals. They follow the rabbit through the woods and on to a moonlit beach where they all stop long enough to build a beautiful sand castle. Next it's off to sail on a red sailed ship with a crew of friendly pirates. This is a gentle story told in verse. The BEAUTIFUL watercolor paintings of the very talented Elizabeth Miles, alone, make this book worth the price you pay for it. It will delight every child and make grown- ups wish they were children again!

This is one of my favorite books, i recived it when i was a little girl, and loved it ever since. It was the first book i learned to read and brightened my imagination. If this book is ever reprinted i would do anything to get it again!
