AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
A little rabbit follows a young girl on imagined adventures
through the sky. They jump from a trampoline up into the air where the bunny
chases the girl as she flies on a plane. The bunny is harassed by Canada Geese
as they follow the plane and then bumps into a hot air balloon, which is
holding the little girl. They slide on rainbows and float in space, eventually
landing back on the trampoline.
The pictures in this look like they were drawn by a child,
but not in an endearing or interesting way. It just looks a bit sloppy. There
are no words in this picture book so the reader has to follow along with the
story and create their own understanding of how it progresses and makes sense.
I’m not sure I was even clear on that, so I think it would be difficult for
most early readers.
