From Booklist
Ages 3^-5. Mr. Rabbit begins to wonder how many bunnies he and Mrs. Rabbit have, and he sets out to count them as they play. He soon discovers that he can't tell which ones he's counted and which ones he hasn't. He gives each bunny he counts a carrot, but some bunnies finish their carrots before Mr. Rabbit gets done counting. After several other plans fail, Mr. Rabbit finally gets his chance when the bunnies fall asleep. But just when he thinks he's accomplished his task, Mrs. Rabbit shows him a whole room full of other bunnies that aren't sleeping. Williamson's bright watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations provide some opportunities to practice counting, but the book is more successful as a lively lesson in problem-solving. Kids will enjoy coming up with their own clever plans for keeping the bunnies straight, too. For more bunny counting, see Cyndy Szekeres on p.891. Lauren Peterson
