School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—A small rabbit is distraught when he can't find his granny. Caring animals hear Bunny Blue's sobs and stop to help. A bee, goose, tiger, crocodile, bear, and fox gently ask some questions: "What does she look like…?", "Can you give us another clue?" "Is she, by any chance, blue like you?" Bunny's replies are punctuated with "BOO HOO HOO!" Smee's endearing ink and watercolor illustrations on generous white backgrounds show the friends climbing up trees and looking behind rocks for a granny with "twinkly eyes," "a BIG smile," and "soft, furry arms." When the rabbits are happily reunited, Bunny Blue promises to "stick to you like GLUE!" The heartfelt emotions of being lost and then reassuringly found will resonate with children. The rhyming text and exquisite page design make this perfect for storytime.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
