The pictures are great, but the storyline is lacking. I was hoping for a book that was laugh-out-loud-funny. Something similar in wit to the Oliver Jeffers book: The Great Paper Caper. But, this book did not even come close. My 3-year-old wasn't thrilled with it either, he said that we should donate it.I also take issue that none of the adults in the story believed the little boy when he told them what he suspected was happening with his books being stolen. My personal fear is that after reading this my son will internalize that adults don't trust children and won't come to me for fear that he won't be believed.The author of this book is a freelance illustrator & graphic designer. That is probably why the pictures are cute, but the writing is severely lacking.
Summary: A book loving rabbit named Ralfy can't get enough books. He starts off just reading his books, moves on to reading others' books while they are sleeping and finally resorts to stealing them! He seems to get away with it for a while until he starts stealing from Arthur- who also loves books. Though at first no one believed Arthur (a human) that a book-loving-bunny was ransacking his bookcase, crime eventually has a way of catching up to everyone (even rabbits). Thankfully, Arthur is a forgiving kid and gives Ralfy some advice on where he can find all the books he wants!The main themes of this book are pro-reading/books and pro-libraries (yay!!). Secondary themes include friendship over shared interests and a lesson that stealing is wrong. The story was a positive one, but I thought it was a bit choppy and rushed in parts. One of the highlights of the story is a scene where Ralfy is showing off a list of books he has read (with a carrot rating), books he wants to read, and books to recommend to people. They were all rabbit-themed titles of popular books (such as "The Rabbit with the Dandelion Tattoo").Recommended most for children who love rabbits and/or children who LOVE books and/or going to the library.
I bought this book for my friend to read to her 2 year old. It's a very cute book about friendship and reading. I think it's a book he will want to read for quite a few years.
Great book for teaching about books, libraries, sharing and forgiveness. It could be used with children from pre-k through about the 4th grade.
