From School Library Journal:

PreS This charming picture book is the perfect recipe for a tranquil bedtime routine. Ives uses the recognizable language of a favorite recipe in collecting all of the reassuring ingredients needed to put six adorable bunnies to bed a game of hide and seek, a bath, milk, a bedtime story then follows each comforting step from bath time, ...place in soapy water. Gently scrub. Watch very closely. Fold into a soft towel...and allow to cool down, to bedtime. Each borderless watercolor painting uses soft, warm pastel colors and is an invitation into the mother rabbit's cozy home where her happy bunnies play with their toys, read, and help one another put on their pajamas before snuggling down for the night. A calm mother keeps a strong, watchful eye over her little dears as she tucks them into bed, sprinkling with kisses. After sleeping in a warm place until morning, the bunnies are ready for fresh carrots for breakfast to complete the sweet rabbit pie. Serve up this delightful story at evening storyhours with Mem Fox's Time for Bed (Harcourt, 1993) or pore over the homey details for one-on-one sharing. Kristine M.
