Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Mouse lets his best friend, Rabbit, play with his brand-new airplane, trouble isn't far behind. From Caldecott Honor award winner Eric Rohmann comes a brand-new picture book about friends and toys and trouble, illustrated in robust, expressive prints.

Review:

"Rohmann tells most of the story through bold, expressive relief prints....This gentle lesson in patience and loyalty, balanced on the back of a hilarious set of illustrations, will leave young readers clamoring for repeat readings." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"[A] smart, sassy object lesson....The fun of this is in the spacing and sequencing of the heavily ink-outlined drawings....Tremendous physical humor delivers a gentle lesson about accepting friends as they are." Connie Fletcher, Booklist

Review:

"The double-page, hand-colored relief prints with heavy black outlines are magnificent, and children will enjoy the comically expressive pictures of the animals before and after their attempt to extract the plane. The text is minimal; it's the illustrations that are the draw here." School Library Journal

Review:

"I smiled, then giggled and laughed out loud at this creative picture book from talented Eric Rohmann. As each boldly illustrated page unfolds, you follow rabbit on a hilarious adventure. Kids will shout 'Read it again, read it again!'" Jonatha Foli, BookSense.com

I have really enjoyed reading this book and at the moment I am printing off ways to incorporate this book into my classroom and what questions to ask kids. Rohmann is a great writer and the colorful pictures make it even more exciting and attention keeping, for all those little minds that like to wonder. I hope to read more of Rohmann's work and incorporate them into my classroom too.
