Describes the appearance and behavior of baby rabbits from birth to eight weeks.

Children's Literature

In a simple question and answer format, readers will learn about bunnies from the time they are born to when they are about 5 months old and fully-grown. The brief but informative answers discuss how dependent the bunnies are on their mother, what they look like, what they eat and what newborn bunnies can do. A full-page, captioned, color photograph accompanies each set of questions. The photos show several breeds up close and the bunnies interacting with their mother. A brief glossary and a few interesting facts are included at the back of the book. A section called, "Want to Know More?" lists other books, web sites about rabbit care, the address for the American Rabbit Breeders Association, and a recommendation to attend county fairs. Part of the "Animals and Their Young" series, this title is appropriate for primary grade students and reluctant readers. 2000, Compass Point Books, $13.95. Ages 5 to 9. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
