The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett


Gravett, Emily.  The Rabbit Problem.  Simon and Schuster, 2010. $17.99.  PICTURE BOOK.  Content, PG.  This book is set up like a calendar, starting in January and documents a group of rabbits living in one field the whole year long.  There isn’t specific text that tells the story, but a bunch of writing in the calendar or on pamphlets that are attached to the calendar page.  The rabbits quickly overpopulate the small field and have to break out.  This isn’t a traditional book that can be read.  It might be something that could supplement science, but talking about reproduction with elementary kids may not be on their level. EL - OPTIONAL  Reviewer, C. Peterson, teacher.
