Following his big sister in a leap over the apple basket, Baby Rabbit falls on his nose on Halloween morning. Then Mother Rabbit takes her children out trick-or-treating. A nice progression spanning three households shows timid Baby Rabbit becoming accustomed to the rituals of Halloween. By the third house he's knocking bravely on the door. He even roars back when a purple monster (actually Grandpa Rabbit) chases them down the path. Once they are all home Baby Rabbit repeats his jump over the apple basket and this time lands safely on the other side. The watercolor and pencil pictures soften the harsh night setting; they are friendly and tame. Yet on the issue of bravery, the book's focus is diffused. Baby Rabbit's initial fall is not because he's afraid; however, the story implies that his final athletic prowess is due to his newfound bravery. The writing is straightforward--even bland--although the care and support Father and Mother Rabbit offer their young ones is evident throughout. --Martha Topol, Interlochen Public Library, MI
