A great introduction to the world of rabbits

Gail Gibbons certainly found her niche with illustrated science books for children. "Rabbits, Rabbits, and More Rabbits!" is no exception. Bright, colorful, with large illustrations and rabbit tidbits filling each page, it is a great introduction to the world of rabbits. Contained in this square, 10 x 9.8 inch book are the geological history, differences between wild and tame rabbits and differences within each of those groups, genetic traits, domestic life, and a total of 16 different breeds of rabbits. A special section shows children how to take care of a pet rabbit indoors or out and a conclusion of rabbit lore, including the Easter Bunny. Why does the EB leave eggs? Because in German legend the Goddess of Spring turned a bird into a rabbit who lay brightly colored eggs and gave them to children. The watercolor illustrations are attractive and vibrant, making this a possible Easter gift for children. Maybe one of Beatrix Potter'sThe Tale of Peter Rabbit (Reading Railroad) or The Classic Tales of Brer Rabbit by Joel Chandler Harris would serve as a fictional companion. Other Gail Gibbons illustrated science books for elementary students include: From Seed to Plant Recycle!: A Handbook for Kids The Honey Makers
