Read the newer picture-book size edition and glad of it. Normally I don't like animals in clothing, or females in long housedresses, etc., but these illustrations just charmed me. And the plot and theme are wonderful. This would make a good father's day gift to an expectant or new daddy .
Summary:
The family of a baby bunny all tries to guess what he will be when he grows up. They tell tales of him being a mail man, a farmer, a lifeguard and many more. Although his family had lots of great ideas of what he could be, he knows what he wants to be, a daddy bunny.
Personal reaction:
It brings back memories of my childhood reading Richard Scarry books, it was like a trip back in time.
Classroom extension ideas:
1) The students could dress up as each other different professions, and act out those parts in the book.
2) It could teach children of the different career options they have as an adult.
3) It can be used to teach children they can be whatever their heart desires when they get older.
