PreS—Young Bunny gets up "early in the morning, when it's quiet and dark," and is ready to play. He immediately hops to his parents' bedroom and tries to wake up Daddy Bunny. When the little rabbit gets no response, he finds a ball and tries to convince his dad to bounce it with him. He continues to find more and more toys until the room is a disaster. Finally, Daddy wakes up and lifts Bunny, gives him a kiss, and cuddles him back to sleep. A blur of tan next to Daddy insinuates that another bunny who is familiar with this game has pulled the blanket over his or her head. This Australian import with soft pen and watercolor illustrations will be familiar to caregivers everywhere.
VERDICT A great addition for a storytime with a caregiver or good morning theme. Consider purchasing for most libraries.
