The Very Loud Bunny by Carmel and Steven D'Amico- ESSENTIAL

D’Amico, Carmela and Steven. Suki, The Very Loud Bunny, 32 pgs. Dutton Juvenile (Penguin Group, USA), 2011. $16.99. Inside cover: “Good, well-behaved bunnies are supposed to hop through fields, nuzzle veggies, and be very, very quiet. BUT NOT SUKI! Suki wants to fly with butterflies and splash in puddles and shout out loud. Most of all, she wants to explore the Great Big World. But when a very grand adventure turns into a spot of trouble, can this little bunny’s big voice show her the way back to Momma?” We loved this book! The illustrations are playful and inviting. The story kept us on our toes, and taught us many lessons about adventure, differences in personalities, and family love. This story reminds children that it’s OK to be yourself! EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL.
