Five Funny Bunnies: Three Bouncing Tales
Ages 3-8—In “Pie,” Flossie, Homer, Henry, Little George, and Baby Sadie set out on a visit to Grandma, but their rambunctious-ness leads to an unfortunate encounter with a berry pie. In “Tricks,” the siblings try to out do one another by showing off with their scooters, jump ropes and pogo sticks. However, they are upstaged by Baby Sadie, who takes her first hop that day. Finally, in “Naptime,” eldest sister Flossie gets a taste of the frustrations of motherhood when she tries to put the younger ones down for a nap.Wilsdorf uses bright, child-friendly watercolors and inks to adorn the bunnies’ outfits. Her Illustrations are generally realistic and have a touch of whimsy. The book is suitable for independent readers and for group sharing. Children will relate to the simple adventures that these siblings enjoy.—School Library Journal, April 2012
