PreS—It is a beautiful day, and a field full of bunnies are having a rip-roaring good time dancing the day away. There is clapping and twirling, shaking and whirling. There are also instruments and a choir of voices adding to the merriment. Suddenly, a fox appears. Every bunny must run and hide! From their safe haven, they peek out to see the fox dancing, flipping, and playing a clarinet! When he is finished, the fox is sad and lonely…"Everybunny clap!" This is just what the fox needs to cheer up. A new friendship is born among unlikely cohorts who love to play, sing, and dance. How fun it is to see a muted rainbow of polka-dotted bunnies frolicking freely on a sunny day! So that is what bunnies do all day! The fox/bunny relationship is a refreshing twist on the usual "evil fox" plot. The rhyming text is amusing to read aloud, and children are sure to want to get up and move (in a great way). The colors and patterns are pleasing, and the font is large and reader-friendly.
VERDICT All of the elements of the text and illustrations (size, clarity, accessibility) mesh together to make this an easy choice for storytime in any early childhood setting.
