Just in time for Easter, we were so happy to see A Lullaby for Little One, written by Dawn Casey and illustrated by Charles Fuge, reviewed in the New York Times today!
In a round-up of picture books with bunnies, Maria Russo says of the book, “With its simple rhyming story of a bunny’s day and realistic watercolors that tilt toward big-eyed cuteness, “A Lullaby for Little One” is lovely”.
And Russo pays particular attention to the relationship between Little Bunny and Big Daddy Rabbit: “This father is not just showing up; he’s emotionally keyed in, too. After they frolic around a field with some other animals, the little bunny inexplicably starts crying. “Are you all worn out from that hullaballoo?” the father asks. “Maybe it’s time for a lullabaloo.” Adventure Dad transforms on the spot into Snuggly Dad, and they go off to sleep curled up together.”
This really is a WONDERFUL picture book – a beautifully, lyrical lullaby, with stunning artwork by Charles Fuge. Here’s a look inside:
You can buy the book online here in the UK, and here if you’re in the US.
Happy Easter from all of us at Nosy Crow!
