Little Rabbits First Far

Alan Baker. Kingfisher, $11.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-7534-5352-0

Alan Baker's newest Little Rabbit offering is perfect for preschoolers. In Little Rabbits' First Farm Book, full-color spreads (with a loose story line) nestle next to informative sidebars. For instance, a spread called ""Cattle Moo-ing"" shows Little Rabbit feeding the animals hay. The sidebar asks, ""Did You Know?"" then answers, ""Cows eat grass to make milk. Hay is dried grass."" Below, a portrait of the animal family depicts bull, cow and calf. The back pages suggest games and practical extensions for teaching concepts. (Kingfisher, $11.95 32p ages 2-5 ISBN 0-7534-5352-5; Sept.) Little Rabbits' First Number Book and Little Rabbits' First Word Book are now in paperback. (Sept.)
