Review
It is time for Bessie and Lil to go to bed and Mama Rabbit is reading them a story. It's Mama's favorite story and is soothing, calming and meant to lull the little bunnies to sleep. Bessie and Lil, however, are more interested in skipping, standing on their heads, looking outside for fireflies and the moon and kissing their little baby sister good night. Mama is exhausted and afraid that the noise will wake the baby up and that would not be good. How will she ever get the bunnies in bed and ready to go to sleep? The illustrations are amusing and colorful and carrots abound; there are carrot cars, carrot rocket ships, and carrot hats just to name a few. This is a good addition and makes a great bedtime read-aloud choice.
Overall Book Score: good
