Preschool - 3

This use to be one of favorite books growing up but now that I read it as an adult I found the animations as well as the charcters a bit weird. It also wasn't until now where I found the picture and the book a bit old so I think that it would be good to have them read at a older age. ( )

This book is perfect for whole group read aloud, the children will be engaged the whole time and will be laughing. The story has satires from traditional literature that appeals to a young audience. For example, the author was describing one of the characters and he said, "In fact her skin was so snowy white they called her... Little Red Goldilocks." The references in this book will also be familiar for many children, such as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and Goldilocks. Since the book will have familiar characters, the children will be able to make connections with the book, which will also better their comprehension of the book. The illustrations in this book is just as wacky and silly as the story. They have a picture of two bunnies, one is a dad with heart underwear on, and the other is a mom with a skirt and a bikini top and sunglasses. Illustrations like this are perfect for children because of the detail and the silly parts about the picture. I highly suggest this book for parents and teachers to read to their children because it is a good laugh for you and the child. ( )

Review:
I liked this book for several reasons. One of the reasons is the characters. Each of the bunnies is "dumb" and does things both literally, and contradictory, making them all entertaining to the reader. Another reason is the illustrations. The illustrations are simple drawings that show the Bunny family as basic, simple drawings, that aren't anatomically correct, allowing the reader to separate the satire from reality. The theme of this book is to "expect the unexpected". ( )
