Scuba Bunnies
PreSchool-Grade 2--After a bath, "Scuba bunnies/Long to see/What's beneath/The deep blue sea." Donning wet suits and snorkels, the rabbits dive into a gentle, imaginative adventure. "Across the waves upon the tide," they encounter sharks, dolphins, whales, otters, and a sunken pirate ship. Upon their safe return home, their mamas welcome them back with hugs and tuck them into bed. As in Cowboy Bunnies (1997) and Astro Bunnies (2001, both Putnam), the story is told in rhyming couplets, perfect for reading aloud. Eitan's mixed-media illustrations include computer manipulation. The orange "fishy faces" blowing bubbles seem to leap off the page and, as the creatures backstroke home, the swirling background adds dramatic flair. Shared at bedtime, this title is sure to make a splash and to inspire many dreams.--Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, CanadaCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
