Top of the Shelf: Little White Rabbit

July 19th, 2011 by Barbara Barbara

Little White Rabbit by Kevin Henkes (Greenwillow Books).

A small white rabbit, thickly lined in lush dark green, scampers across the landscape scattering yellow and white flowers as he passes. As he hops over the grass, he wonders about what it would be like to be tall, or to flutter like a butterfly, or to be able to move like a rock; intermediary pictures depict his imaginations. Home again with Mother Rabbit to greet him, he wonders not at all who loves him. Henkes’ large splendid illustrations, designed for the very young, are aptly executed.

    We recently checked this book out from the library, and we loved, loved, loved it! The illustrations are absolutely beautiful! I’ve been recommending this book to my friends with little ones, too!
