| PreS-A quiet gem of a picture book about a small bunny with a big imagination. "When he hopped through the high grass, he wondered what it would be like to be green." Each burst of curiosity is followed by a spread of envisioning. For example, when he wonders what it would be like to be tall as a fir tree, readers are treated to a depiction of a huge rabbit leaning on the upper boughs of a hemlock, communing with the birds. In the tradition of Eric Carle's The Mixed-Up Chameleon (Crowell, 1975) and Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1942), Little White Rabbit is perfect for preschoolers. The colored pencil and acrylic illustrations in cheery springtime pastels have fuzzy textures and broad outlines that are enormously appealing. Henkes often manages to combine the static and kinetic so that his protagonist seems frozen in mid-leap. And just when you think this little rabbit has settled in for the night with his loving family, that lively curiosity reappears, ready to begin another adventure.-Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I will admit straight off that I am a huge fan of this author/illustrator. As a story time leader, I eagerly look forward to each of his new picture books, secure in the knowledge that it will be perfectly in tune with the imaginations of my preschool and toddler audiences. I know that they won't be too long, and that the author's spare text will perfectly complement illustrations that are simple and well defined. This author has mastered the art of "less is more" in picture books and still manages to convey messages that are full of spirit, imagination and whimsy. Little White Rabbit does not disappoint. It feeds the imagination and celebrates curiosity. This is a wonderful selection for any group of toddlers or young preschoolers. The color scheme evokes Spring and Easter but this is a book that can be read year round. It's going into my own story time collection, right next to Birds, Old Bear, A Good Day, and My Garden. Another stellar effort not to be missed. Recommended. |
