The Bold, Brave Bunny

PreS-Gr 1–Avid reader Teetu the bunny feels overwhelmed by the crowding in his burrow and craves solitude to create his own book. Clad in bow tie and suspenders, he takes his backpack and flashlight into the forest. Resident animals observe him sketching and ambling around all day and into the night. When it’s time to head home, the lost and hungry hero is homesick. Luckily, all the bunnies in his extended family have created a chain of rabbits to lead him back, where everyone raves about his animal alphabet book. Lam’s digital illustrations make the most of Ferry’s text. The trees in Teetu’s forest inspire him as the flowing branches form animal shapes, from flamingos to giraffes. In addition, each bunny’s depiction presents a distinct character. Pearl gray backgrounds feature a black, white, and soft red palette.
