Amazing Alliterations always abound at Milkweed Meadow!
I liked this book. In my opinion, it was more epic than The Remarkable Rescue at Milkweed Meadow, which is the book that came before in the Milkweed Meadow series. When the traveling turkey acting group comes to Milkweed Meadow everyone wants to act. Butternut was really excited about the play but when she was not selected for the play, she was disappointed. The reason she was disappointed was because all of the other bunnies had been selected.
She was worried that nobody would want to listen to her stories because the play was so interesting, so she acted selfishly. This is the story of how she overcame the challenges. I like this book because most of the reason it is epic is the emotional connection to the main character. I felt nervous when I was reading the book because I was worried Butternut was going to get in a lot of trouble. Sometimes she messed things up but the way the author wrote about her made me care about her, so when things got messed up I really wanted her to fix things.
I liked that it taught to not judge a creature by what they are, but instead by what they do. There were many examples of this in the story, including possible predators, like a hawk. I thought that it was interesting that Butternut isn’t perfect. She makes bad choices, but in the end she does the best that she can to help the creatures of Milkweed Meadow.
My favorite character is Goosegrass, because she is funny, supportive, and I like her name. An example of Goosegrass being supportive was when she made sure that everyone was listening to Butternut’s story. I recommend this book to everyone 7-12 years old.… (plus d'informations)
