Reviews
In The Three Little Rabbits retold by Ivan Gantschev, trans. by J. Alison James the Balkan version of the Three Little Pigs a bunny mother and father warn their now-grown offspring to "dig yourself a safe rabbit hole" in case "a fox comes around." But only one bunny takes the time to do it right. The others, tormented by the furtive fox, learn a life-changing lesson. Gorgeous watercolors seem to bloom on the page, like their peak shades in spring.

Ages 5-7. In this Balkan versions of the Three Little Pigs, three rabbits venture out into the world with a firm warning from their father: dig safe rabbit holes that will protect against the fox. The first two rabbits are young and fearless. They don't follow their father's advice, and narrowly escape the fox. The third rabbit is wiser; he digs a hole as advised, and he outwits the fox, who gets his head stuck in the burrow. The rabbit and the fox strike a deal: the fox will be released if he promises to leave the other rabbits alone, giving them time to dig their own safe havens. The large, bright watercolor illustrations and the familiar themes make this a natural for preschool story hours. Helen Rosenberg
