In this wordless
graphic novel an adorable magicians rabbit, Hocus Pocus finds a friend, but
alas, it turns out that friend is a stuffed animal –that belongs to a baby.
When the train takes off with the baby crying for its toy, the rabbit springs
into action to try to reunite the pair. But a fast train and his nemesis, Dog,
might just hamper his efforts.
This is a pretty
cute book! I like that it invites readers to tell the story to themselves or a
parent as they follow what is happening. The illustrations are bright and
simple. When students tell you “I can’t read yet”, this might be a fun book to
hand them.
