Written by Judy Dunn, with photography done by Phoebe and Tristan Dunn (Judy's parents - Local to New Canaan, CT). This wonderful series of books, including The Little Lamb and The Little Duck, are great starter books for children. I personally knew Phoebe Dunn and can honestly say that her love and compassion for children is reflected in the quality of these books.My son loves these books to this day - almost 20 years later.-Jeff C. (the blond haired boy riding the bicycle at the end of the book).
Some people may take issue with the bunny being bought at Easter time, but the little girl proved to be a loving and responsible pet owner. OK, she blew it once when she fell asleep and Buttercup hopped off. And realistically, it would not have been so easy for Sara to find her after she woke up.Apparently this was necessary in order for Buttercup to explore the environment and see what's out there. And when she had babies later it would not normally be so easy to find homes for them.Having said all that, remember this is a story appropriate for kids 5 and under. At this point, it should seem appropriate to read them a story just for the pleasure of it. They can learn about spaying/neutering later, along with keeping a sharp eye on their pets. It is a sweet, feel-good story. And it does reveal a loving relationship between a child and her pet, which even a very child can understand.
I read Judy Dunn 's books to my children when they first came out. We went through three copies of the duck and the lamb. Now I read them to my grandchildren who love them as much as their parents did.
I gave this book to my son for Easter when he was 2. He loved this book as did his younger sister so I came here to buy copies for my new grandson and nephew for this Easter. I do not see that it encourages people to buy living animals for Easter-my kids never asked but they loved the story and the pictures. My son used to talk about the two girls in the book until the babysitter (who did not know the book) asked when they were coming to play! He was imaginative but knew they were just in a book. It is a nice little story that many under 5s like and they like to see real people once in a while.
My 2 year old son loves all of the Phoebe/Judy Dunn books. The Little Rabbit is his favorite; however, I am partial to The Little Lamb, which was my own favorite from childhood. Each story contains plentiful photographs per page of the animals engaging in common, everday scenarios, such as eating, bathing, napping, exploring, etc. They often get into a little minor mischief, as well. I think the familiarity and predictability of what the animals do are what make these books so appealing to my little one. Though these books are wordier than the typical book recommended for the very young, the stories are so simple and realistic, making them easy to follow, while encouraging and challenging the attention span. I consider each of the Dunn books a valuable part of our son's book collection.
I love this book very much, cute rabbit with a lot of photographs. Wonderful
I bought this book for the students in my class. We did a unit where we compared and contrasted Peter Rabbit to the Velveteen. Rabbit. They wanted to know more about rabbits, so I bought them a few books.
Just in time for Spring, The Little Rabbit and The Little Duck have been released from Random House. Perfect for little hands, these board books are a must have.These books also make the perfect gift for Easter.As a child, I loved Judy Dunn's books, The Little Kitten, The Little Rabbit and The Little Duck. I'm thrilled that Random House has re-released this fabulous collection of books. I've enjoyed having the chance to read them with my little girl. Sure the pictures are throw back to the late 70's, early 80's, but they're pictures that kids today are sure to love, and enjoy looking at.The Phoebe Dunn Collection is now available in board books, which are just perfect for little hands.
