Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Having survived his first day of school in Jack the Wolf (Roaring Brook, 2002), the child now faces a problem at home. He loves to draw, but his rabbit refuses to serve as a model and escapes through an open window. Jack searches for his pet all afternoon, wandering from his backyard through town and to the beach. There, he receives some advice from a painter trying to capture the sea on his canvas: "Rabbits do as they like- just like the sea." Jack heads home after locating the animal in a heap of sand, and the exhausted animal follows, and falls asleep, thus remaining still while Jack draws him. Some of the boy's classmates reappear in this episode, which has the slightly surreal feeling of Jagtenberg's first book. The primitive quality of the drawings of landscapes and people, and the blank white interiors of buildings create a dreamlike sense that is enhanced by the rabbit's huge size. There is something oddly appealing in Jack's search and his realization of the difficulties of translating subject into art. His adventures are worth sharing.
