How Do You Read To a Rabbit by Andrea Wayne von Königslöw



2010/32 pgs

About the Book: How do you read to a rabbit? Or what about a kangaroo or a boa? Surely they enjoy books too? A humorous look at reading, the young narrator tries to read to various animals.

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: This book is a bit of a reading version mixed with If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Everytime you try to read to a new animal, something goes wrong! A boa would try to hug you too tight. A kangaroo would jump, bats want to be upside down, and rabbits-well, there's just too many of them to keep up with! I can see this one being a good storytime book and I think young readers would get a kick out of the various problems they would face with different animals. Of course, we learn the best place to read is with your parents, so it has a sweet (and a bit sappy) ending. The illustrations weren't anything that really stood out, but they were colorful and fun. Overall, this is a silly book about reading.
