[.ca] Bunnies on the Go: Getting from Place to Place (ISBN 0060291850)

nfw:
Disappointed. Illustrations are not as beautiful as the work done in "So Many Bunnies." Text doesn't flow...too contrived and the last word of each page's rhyme is on the next page...which makes the reader/listener have to decide whether to linger over the scene or turn the page to finish the rhyme. Modes of transportation are depicted well, but on most pages the bunnies don't have the charm they have in "So Many Bunnies"...they are pretty much secondary in many of the illustrations, so if you liked "So Many Bunnies" for the rabbits, you may be disappointed in this edition. Opening and closing spreads have the charm I was expecting throughout the book.

Interesting Book for Preschoolers:
Bunnies on the Go is a great book for preschoolers. My 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 year old grandsons love So Many Bunnies so I brought this one home from the library. Perhaps because they are boys, they don't care if the illustrations are cute little bunnies but what really holds their interest in this book is the figuring out which vehicle will be on the next page. There is a visual clue and a rhyming clue--they find this aspect of the book highly entertaining--and I thought it was pretty clever too. They just love it when they know the answer. As an adult I wonder how many times would they want to read this book since it doesn't take long to know what comes next, but children love repetition so I recommend buying this book.
