You Waiting For? Pictures by Matt

PICTURE BOOK.
A badger asks his friend, a rabbit, what he is waiting
for. The rabbit doesn’t want to ruin the
surprise, so he doesn’t tell his friend.
The badger asks questions, like how big it is and if it has a
mustache. The rabbit says that it doesn’t
have legs or a tail. The badger is
confused, the rabbit assures him that it isn’t scary and that it’s always
changing. Badger asks even more
questions before falling asleep. Rabbit
wakes him up to see the moon. Children will be like the badger, eager to find out what the rabbit is waiting for and trying to guess what it is. The dialogue between the two friends is charming. The illustrations were created with pencil and pastel and compliment the natural scenery of the story. Both badger and rabbit are endearingly drawn and will appeal to children.
Pre-K, EL-ADVISABLE.
