I Am a Bunny (Golden Sturdy Book) (A Golden Sturdy Book)

Product Information

I very clearly remember the day that I wanted my mother to read it to me, but she was doing something else at the time, so I sat in the doorway of my closet and opened it up, wanting to look at the pictures again, at least. While my baby's not quite at the talking stage yet, I think the pictures are really helpful in pointing out what the story is about - flowers, butterflies, birds, frogs, leaves, rain, and snow are all beautifully illustrated in vibrant colors that capture the baby's attention and (hopefully) are helping her learn too. I had high hopes for it, the art is old school, as it would be for something that was originally published in the 60s, and I usually like older art.

The story about cute little bunny Nicholas going through the seasons is calming (pleasantly soporific if the time is right) and the illustration of Nicholas lying in the sun and watching the birds is very pretty. This was my favorite as a wee lad of 2 or 3 years old and holds a special place in my heart to this day.While most of the words are at the beginning reader’s level, each page introduces a challenge word that was often repeated at least 1 more time to help with retention. The bunny is adorable, and the sweeping vista illustrations add so much to the experience of the book. Mother Tongue notes: The illustrations are lovely and perfectly paired with the more challenging reading words.

His books have sold over 100 million copies around the world and are currently published in more than twenty languages. Beautifully and simply written by Ole Risom, and perfectly illustrated by Richard Scarry, this was one of the few children's books I never tired of reading aloud.The idea of a little toadstool being an umbrella for littler creatures was, and still is, the cutest thing I can fathom. Quick enough that older students (1st grade) were interested in reading despite being geared toward younger listeners. Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over his books filled with all the colorful details of their daily lives. In the spring, Nicholas picks flowers and chases butterflies, and in the summer, watches the frogs in the pond.

In the fall, he watches the animals getting ready for winter, and in winter, watches the snow falling from the sky. One of Golden's most beloved titles, this beautifully illustrated, gentle story is now available as an eBook. This book is perfect for babies and toddlers who are actively discovering the natural world around them. A cute bunny in red overalls named Nicholas narrates the story; he lives in a hollow tree and shows us how he enjoys observing the changing seasons and playing with plants and animals.Such a contrast to that fraud Eric Carle, whose anti-capitalist screed "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" drips with socialistic, vegetarian dogma in every sentence.

She only likes it if I change the words so instead of "snow", I say "marshmallows" or something like that, and she can laugh and correct me. Laura Tillotson's article in Book Links cites a school library media specialist who always gives this book as a gift and receives rave reviews.But first came Nicholas, a young rabbit clad in red overalls, for the now-iconic classic I Am a Bunny. I therefore disagree with Marilyn Courtot's review in Children's Literature, which says "there is nothing particularly exciting about this little romp through the seasons".
