Busy Bunny Days: In the Town, On the Farm & At the Port

Three stories about an active family of rabbits, originally published in Germany, come together in this Richard Scarry–esque outing full of questions to answer and mini-narratives to pursue. Each story opens with a dramatis personae, picturing and naming the smartly dressed animals found within (“Don’t forget to keep an eye out for that pesky Benny Badger,” cautions the introduction to “In the Town”). The view of each setting remains fixed—although there’s plenty of movement and activity on each page—making it easy for children to flip between pages to notice the changes as each day progresses and answer the questions posed (“Who is Baxter’s teacher?”). A stylish study of urban and rural life with just a hint of mischief. Ages 4–8. (Mar.)
