Côté, Geneviève Goodnight, You. PICTURE BOOK. Kids Can Press, 2014. $16.95. Content: G.
Bunny and Piggy want to camp out, but when their lantern creates a monster-like shadow, Bunny is scared. Piggy cajoles Bunny into playing with the shadows instead of being frightened of them. When Bunny decides to turn out the lantern, though, it's Piggy who's scared and now Bunny's doing all the comforting.
This is an amusing tale of two friends conquering their fears, and it is very nice to see the characters enjoying the outdoors. Children may be inspired by the shadow puppets Bunny and Piggy make, and doing it as a class activity would be a good accompaniment to the story and would tie in well to both the art and science curriculum.
