PreS—Rhyming text and bright illustrations take readers through seasonal toddler fun and messes with a mother rabbit and her offspring. Enjoying everything from a muddy spring garden and a sunny day at the beach to fall leaves and winter days spent indoors painting, the little bunny plays, explores, and gets really dirty. The refrain, "What time is it?/Time for a bath!" transitions the youngster into the tub for bubbly fun. The charming, soft-focus illustrations are perfect for the audience, and the simple and rhythmic text invites participation. A nice choice for preschool read-alouds or one-on-one sharing.—Martha Link Yesowitch, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC
From morning until night, throughout the year, a little bunny gets messy, sandy, and muddy: "What time is it? / TIME FOR A BATH! / Splash and squirt. / Rub-a-dub-dub. / Good-bye dirt." Simple rhymes reinforce the playful rhythm of the rabbit's busy days. Soft, pastel-colored illustrations show parent and child engaged in homey or seasonal activities, from making pancakes to tracking ants.
