This book describes a young girls journey to find her mother the perfect birthday present. Along the way she stops and asks Mr. Rabbit for help. He has many suggestions and finally, together, they decide on the perfect gift. This story is great for young readers because many of the phrases are repeated over and over. It also discusses a lot about colors. ( )

The little girl is trying to figure out what to get her mother for her birthday. She goes and asks Mr. Rabbit what should she get her mother. He asks her what is he favorite color and she says the color red. Then he names stuff that color and she figures out to get her red apples. Then names the color yellow and Mr. Rabbit told her to get bananas. At the end of the story the little girl puts all the fruit in the basket for her mother and thanks Mr. Rabbit for helping her.

This is a good read aloud for young to middle elementary aged students. The story has some reptative dialogue between Mr. Rabbit and the little girl. Colors and real life examples of colors are a major theme in the book. As well, there is a review of reasonable suggestions versus unreasonable ideas.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0060269456, Hardcover)

Any collaborative effort by the esteemed Charlotte Zolotow and the illustrious Maurice Sendak is bound to be a success. These beloved creators of countless children's favorites outdo themselves with this 1963 Caldecott Honor-winning classic about a little girl in need of assistance. Finding a birthday present for her mother is no easy task for our heroine. Luckily, she happens upon the avuncular Mr. Rabbit, whose heart is in the right place, even if he doesn't always have the best ideas. Ultimately, his suggestions do come in handy, and between the two of them they determine the ideal birthday tribute: the gift of color. Children will join the protagonists in contemplating how to make the abstract tangible, and all readers will be delighted to see yellow translate to bananas, as green is given in pears, and blue takes the shape of grapes.

The soft, muted colors of Sendak's illustrations are reminiscent of a Monet landscape--utterly appealing and dreamy. And the reflective, sing-song dialogue between Mr. Rabbit and the girl is as deliciously lulling as a shady swing in a hammock. This quiet, peaceful book is a treasure for any shelf. (Ages 4 to 8)
