An engaging collection of poems for preschoolers and early readers celebrates the holidays and good times enjoyed by young Rabbits and children alike, from Rabbit Thanksgiving to Rabbit fireworks in July.
Patricia Hubbell has been writing poetry since she was eleven years old. In 1998, her Wrapping Paper Romp was selected as a Parents Magazine Book of the Year. Patricia Hubbell lives with her husband, Harold Hornstein, in Easton, Connecticut, the small town where she was born. Remembering how much their children and grandchildren loved to bounce when they were very young prompted her to write Bouncing Time. "Bouncing is one of the joyous things little kids do," she says. "It reflects their constant enthusiasm."
This book would be good for studying the months and important holidays and celebrations throughout the year with younger grades. The illustrations depict cute rabbits dancing and celebrating which young students would enjoy. I would not use this book with students past first grade, unless I was using it for a poetry study alone.
