A scissors and pencil decide to make rabbits, from colored paper and pencil.


Lionni's training was in economics (a Ph.D from the University of Genoa in 1935), but ultimately his fascination with tearing colored paper into shapes led to a career in graphic arts.

Here the two rabbits find a carrot which they determine must be real, because it casts a shadow.

This was a fun little book. The story was very simplistic, but still sweet. I enjoyed seeing the different art medias interacting through the two rabbits. It felt like a very short read though, but that's probably because the story line was so simple. I might still recommend to Lionni fans.

Two rabbits made with a pencil and scissors become friends.
Ok, seriously? Just fun!
My kids, who spend a large part of the day, when not reading or looking at books, drawing pictures and cutting with scissors just loved this one.

This book is good for showing different types of art medium as well as for helping introduce 2D versus 3D objects. This is an easy read that students would probably enjoy.

The pencil draws a rabbit and the scissors cut a rabbit out of colored paper. These two rabbits become friends and eventually become real.

A better telling of the Velveteen Rabbit story. A must read for all kids.

I bought this book for a friend's little one and I loved the creativity of the story. It seems like a good board book for younger kids.

This wasn't fun enough for an under 1 year old, but it is cute and would be better for a little older (1-3 maybe?).

Answers the age old question of how to determine what is real.
