"Little White Rabbit" by Kevin Henkes 2011


Just in time for spring and Easter, Henkes has once again captured the magic and joy of imagination in this whimsical book about a young rabbit who pictures himself taking on the qualities of different things found in nature: grass, a tall tree, a stone, etc. The beautiful pastel colors and airiness of the chalky illustrations lend a softness to rabbit's escapades. Reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's "Runaway Bunny," this book is a lighter take on the wonders of the world from a child's perspective. Destined to be a springtime classic in preschool classrooms, this book would make a great Easter basket treat or baby shower gift.
