As most parents know, sometimes we say one thing, while our kids hear something else! That's what this sweet book is about. This story had my kindergartener doubled over with laughs. Even as the rhythm of Webster's story is not pitch perfect, it's still a great read aloud. But, make no mistake: the message in this charming tale is NOT listen to your parent(s)---as I had hoped! Instead, Small Rabbit's misunderstandings cause him to have an even better time! Alas, for my little one, anytime a small character outwits or outlasts a bigger one, the story's a hit.
Just like his wife, Jane Chapman, Tim Warnes's artwork makes any book an instant favorite. Love him (and JANE)!
