Look, Rabbits

by Daphne Louter

A delightful non - verbal picture book to take you through the day and the year The everyday life of Daphne Louters twins inspired her to create this beautiful, intricate picture book that wordlessly tells the story of a boy rabbit and a girl rabbit, and their pet, the chicken. We follow the roguish duo throughout the day and, as the day progresses , throughout the ye ar as well. The subtle colours, fine lines and countless details in the pictures give the book a timeless quality and are reminiscent of work by great British illustrators such as Beatrix Potter and John Tenniel. It wont come as a surprise to hear that Da phne won the 2014 Worldwide Picture Book Illustration Contest with the first pictures for this book. The rabbit twins house and garden are places young children will want to visit over and over again. Theres so much to discover in every picture that eac h new visit is a delight. And can they find the objects that appear in every picture

Follows to children rabbits through one day and all the activities these anthropomorphic bunnies do with other animals.

There are no words in this book, so you have to put together some clues (especially getting up out of bed and going to bed) to figure out what the theme of the book is. The illustrations look like 1800s-early 1900s portraits of people doing everyday activities, only replaced with rabbits that wear clothes and use furniture and such. Cute, and marvelous artwork. I wish there was a little more plot.

Two children rabbits go about their day in this wordless book. I can see this being used as a writing prompt or as a model for teaching a style of art. Could also be used as a prompt for speaking and describing in an elementary ESL class.
