Bunny Rabbit in the Sunlight by Kate Endle & Caspar Babypants. 2011. 18
pgs. Seattle, WA: Sasquatch Books. 9781570617492. Format reviewed: Board book.
Annotation: Find out what all kinds of animals do in different kinds of
light.
Reaction: Each page, and animal, follow the same formula: description,
animal, in the (type of) light. The paper cut-out style illustrations are
simple, clean, and effectively communicate the different kinds of environments
each of the animals are in- whether dawn, shimmer light, lantern light, morning
light, firelight, starlight, and twilight. The ending page- “Now it’s time to
turn off the light,” makes sense, and will be a welcome sight for many parents.
Primary early
literacy skills: Narrative skills. The narrative
formula, combined with familiar animals, lends itself to a call-out style reading,
enjoyable for children to describe and predict what’s next.
Recommended
ages: 1 and up.
Tags/themes: Wild animals, pets, light, times of day, bedtime.
