Little Blue Bunny: A Heartwarming Friendship Book for Children (Little Heroes, Big Hearts)
Hardcover – Picture Book, February 1, 2022
Description
From School Library Journal PreS-K-Like Henry Cole's One Little Bag, in which a seemingly single-use object lasts for generations, this is a tale of upended expectations. A small boy gets a floppy, plush, pink-nosed blue bunny. Blue Bunny knows that his job is to befriend the boy now, but if the boy one day outgrows him, the stuffed toy wants to do great big things out in the world: travel, sleep under the stars, see sights. With the boy, he does all those things. One day he realizes that "all of [his] dreams have come true." The adolescent boy becomes a married man, and Blue Bunny has a new baby and new adventures to look forward to. The skillful pastel illustrations are fuzzy-edged and just as sweet as the story. In this "magical world," mostly cast with a white family, there are no annoyances, and the bunny's scaled-down life is fulfilling. VERDICT Heartwarming is the aim; some readers will find the overt message and warm presentation cloying, others comforting.-Patricia D. Lothropα(c) Copyright 2011.
