Little Rabbit likes living in the city. There are so many things to see and do! But at night, when she is all alone, she looks up at the moon and begins to wonder. Could there be someone out there? Another little rabbit just like her? Then one night Little Rabbit meets Brown Rabbit in the park, and he's just the friend she's been wishing for. He likes to play music and she likes to tell stories: together they make the perfect team. But how long before the bright lights are calling Little Rabbit back to the city? This is an unforgettable story with stunning illustrations throughout.

編輯推薦

Little Rabbit loves the hustle and bustle of city life, but at night on her balcony, she wonders if there is anyone to laugh and have fun with. Someone like, well, her. Then one day she hears music so beautiful, she just has to follow it; she ends up deep in the park, where Brown Rabbit is playing his guitar. He plays, she dances; they tell each other their stories and for a while just enjoy each other’s company. Then, once more the city lights beckon, and no matter how hard he tries, Brown Rabbit can’t get Little Rabbit to stay. Once home, there are no regrets, especially because the friendship is intact and, as the last page shows, a visit is right around the corner. True, to adults this might have elements of a sappy breakup movie, but hopefully those aspects will elude children, who will instead be captivated by the joys of friendship and, more subtly, the longing to be oneself. The story’s considerable appeal is amplified by Russell’s exceptional artwork. Using her skills as a printmaker, she places her endearing characters on beautifully colored backgrounds so smooth they resemble suede. Leaves, flowers, stars, and a checkerboard moon decorate, giving the pictures a truly distinctive look that will appeal to both adults and children. A charming offering reminiscent of the city mouse–country mouse tale. Preschool-Grade 1. --Ilene Cooper
