First sentence: The cottontail rabbit has a little white tail. Bunnies love to eat the cabbage...in Farmer Brown's garden. Some rabbits have GIANT ears...and some have tiny ones. The snowshoe hare changes the color of his coat to white in the winter...and to brown in the summer.

Premise/plot: Richard Scarry's Bunnies is a classic Golden Book newly republished in board book format. Each two-page spread shares another detail about bunnies...or rabbits. There really is not a cohesive narrative.

My thoughts: I love Richard Scarry. I do. I grew up with Richard Scarry books. For that reason I will always enjoy rereading these when they're republished. I LOVE all the bunny illustrations. I do. I think parents (guardians, loved ones, etc.) can read these books slowly and talk about the illustrations and the text.

A charming and informative read. The book is cute, and the funny ending leaves you with a smile. Definitely recommended!
