Read to Your Bunny

This is a bit bizarre because it's a children's book with a message that kind of seems directed at parents. Read to your child- it's fun and one day she or he will read to you. I'm kind of curious about what kids think about this story.

This book is not actually a story, it just promotes parents to read to their children. It seems more directed towards adults than it does to children.

A wonderful reminder of how important it is to read to your young child for 20 minutes a day. Everyone on here knows how important reading is and how successful it has made us over the years. Rosemary Wells is such a great author that really works at fighting for literacy in our young children.

Great to make into personal books for children. I'm thinking they could fit in personal pictures of parents reading to them. There is also a great letter by Rosemary Wells to share with parents.

Short and sweet rhyming book. Read to your bunny because it is fun in so many ways. And someday, "your bunny will read to you." Has lots of suggestions and rationale directed to parents about the importance of reading to your "bunny."

This book really does not tell a story. It just says to read to your children and they will read to you. It promotes children reading. It makes reading look fun and children will love to read it because it is easy and colorful.

Brief rhyming text and colorful illustrations tell what happens when parents and children share twenty minutes a day reading.

Age Appropriateness: Primary
Genre: Fantasy
Media: Watercolor
Characterization: There really are no characters in this book. It basically just gives reasons why you should read to your child. There is not a story line here either. There are illustrations that may give clues as to who the characters might be, but still there are no specific characters, just pictures of possible ones.
Plot: This is not even a story as much as it is just a book basically telling parents to read to their children. There really is not plot here.
Setting: There is not much of a setting in this story either. This story could be taken out of this context and plopped into most any other and it would not change it very much.
Review: This book gives good reasons for why show more parents should read to their children and spend quality time with them. It also appears to have bunnies take on human characteristics by seeing them reading books, so this is an example of fantasy. show less
