AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
The story begins with two different kinds. A rabbit, who is this and a chick who is that. There have only ever been just the two, this or that. When a new friend hatches, who claims to be both, this and that decide he must be neither. When neither isn't "rabbity" enough to play with this, and not "birdy" enough to join in with that, he travels to the land of all where he is welcomed.
This is a darling story, that teaches not only the word usage of this, that, both, neither, and all, it also teaches the importance of accepting those who are different and welcoming them. The pictures are wonderful and imaginative and will immediately engage readers as they go through the story.
