Review
A pair of scissors and a pencil, each using its own special skills, decides to make rabbits one morning in Leo Lionni's classic 1982 fable, reprinted in this sturdy board book edition for the youngest reader. The pencil-drawn rabbit and scissor-crafted collage bunny promptly become fast friends. When they grow hungry, they turn to their creators for paper carrots, which they enjoy heartily... until they come upon a real carrot (they know it's real because it casts a shadow). What happens next will surely enchant readers of all ages.
The brilliant Lionni amuses himself--and his readers--with this playful send-up of the creative process. Each bunny is unique in its own right, skillfully and yet simply designed--the wonderful kind of images readers never forget. Four-time Caldecott Honor winner Lionni wrote more than 40 children's picture books in his lifetime, including well-loved classics Frederick and Swimmy. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter
From the Inside Flap
8217;s make rabbits,” says the scissors to the pencil, and before the reader’s eyes, two rabbits appear—one drawn by the pencil, the other cut from brightly patterned paper by the scissors. When the rabbits are hungry, the scissors cuts out a paper carrot and the pencil draws a carrot. But one day the rabbits find a real carrot. “Let’s eat it,” the hungry rabbits say. A taste of the real carrot leads to a wonderful surprise ending that is sure to delight very young children.
Originally published in hardcover in 1982, the brief story—just a sentence or two per page—and boldly graphic art are perfect to share with very young children in this board book version.
