Oh So Tiny Bunny

PreS-K—Oh So (yes, that's his name) may be tiny, but his dreams are big. In them he's as big as a mountain, a forest, and a dragon. Of course, a big bunny gets mighty hungry, "so he dreams of sweet clover as tall as trees, of crunchy carrots as big as railroad cars, and fields of lettuce as wide as the oceans." But Oh So's dreams are missing something-a friend. His loneliness is interrupted when he is awakened by a nibble on his ear, by a bunny just like himself. Perhaps being tiny isn't so bad after all. Kirk's oil illustrations, reminiscent of those in his "Miss Spider" series (Scholastic), give the text life. The bright, bold colors are practically luminescent. With his open mouth, white fur, and clear blue eyes, Oh So nearly jumps from the page. Kirk sneaks in lots of details and whimsy as well.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH
