From Publishers Weekly
The creator of Mr. Cookie Baker and All My Little Ducklings blends kaleidoscopic art and fanciful language in this atmospheric tale of nocturnal perambulations. As "Day is ending/ Nightime coming," two simply drawn, personable bunnies undertake a series of adventures (with "Thunder crashing/ Lightning flashing," for example, the pair huddles beneath a tree). Wellington's gouache, watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations are at once sophisticated and childlike, with busy, detailed patterns and flattened perspectives. Her snow-white rabbits are especially effective against her multicolored backgrounds. Lilting cadences make playful use of onomatopoeia and other linguistic legerdemain: a "big bear in the orchard lumbering" sounds a mighty "thumping bumping thud," while the bunnies "quiver shiver shake" during a storm and "scurry hurry home" as daylight arrives. Ages 2-5.
