Bunny and Me Book

Baby and Bunny pop bubbles, look at books, wear beads, and chase each other through pretty fields and purple gardens. With its soft yellows, violets, and greens, this delicately decorated story about friendship lost and found unfolds in fewer than five words per page. "Baby touches Bunny's nose." "Bunny chases a ball." All goes well, everyone's getting along swimmingly... until "Bunny hops away." Will Baby find Bunny? Only time and a few lovely pages will tell. The mother-daughter team of Adele Aron Greenspun and Joanie Schwarz has created a simple, sweet tale with few words and soft photographs of a sweater-clad baby and a droopy-eared bunny--both real, both adorable. Each picture is elaborately framed with hazy, dreamlike backgrounds of rolling meadows and distant woodlands. There's not much of a story here, but it won't matter; pre-readers will love the unusual pictures and realistic, unembellished language. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter Read More
