Seven Little Bunnies
PreSchool-Grade 1—When Mama and Papa say, "Climb in your beds, time to rest your sleepy heads," seven rambunctious rabbits have other ideas in mind. The first little bunny "thumps a big drum,/hums and drums with a rum, pum, pum./Humming, drumming, will he stop?" Bryant's winsome watercolors showcase the busy activities. The quiet refrain of "Cozy,/dozy,/drowsy.../drop" appears on the facing page along with the tuckered bunny fast asleep. In similar rhyming fashion, the nighttime escapades of the other six are presented. As their dancing, snacking, sneezing, splashing, ball playing, and reading fun tires them out, one by one they join their snoozing siblings on the floor. Children will enjoy counting the pajama-clad bunnies in this sweet story.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada(c) Copyright 2010.
