Martin, David Little Bunny and the Magic Christmas Tree, illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev. Candlewick, 2011. $16. PICTURE BOOK. Content: G. While not the youngest in his bunny family, Little Bunny is certainly the smallest. On Christmas Eve, as he pouts under the tree, the ornaments come alive and take him on a wonderful adventure, where he suddenly doesn’t feel too small at all. The idea of magical toys is nothing new and while Martin’s books is tailored towards bunnies and trees, it falls just a bit flat right on the last page (I would have liked one of the ornaments to wave or wink at Little Bunny when no one is watching). Gorbachev’s drawings are the real magic here. EL(K-3) – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library Teacher
