Spoiler alert!The drawings are the best aspect of this story.  The story didn't grab my attention as being original and there were several errors.  The errors could be corrected by a good editor but the story itself needed some help. It started out well by telling about a bunny who was sad because he looked different than the others.  The overall message is good (the color of a bunny's fun doesn't matter) but there were some issues in the execution of that message.  After thinking about it I realized that that the bunny was relying on the opinions of others to feel good about itself.  That probably isn't a message parents would want to send to their children.There were also some strange actions by the charracters.  But the story also has potential and could be elevated with some work.  If the drawings weren't so good this would have rated two instead of three stars.  And the story is for very small children so parents could orally correct these issues in telling the story.  If your child loves animals they would probably enjoy this book."Candy Cane" is a story with a similar theme that handles the story better.  I rated it five stars.  You may want to compare the two and decide which one best meets your needs.CANDY CANE
