The brilliantly colorful follow-up to Lisa McCue's best-selling Quiet Bunny
Quiet Bunny loves the bright colors of spring: the yellow ducks, green frogs, and blue jays-everything but his own brown, wintry white fur. It takes the help of a wise old owl for Bunny to realize that it's the rainbow of colors-including his own-that makes the world so beautiful. Tremendous sales for Quiet Bunny-more than 20,000 sold to date, and was also a main selection for Book of the Month Club and selection Scholastic.
A vibrant introduction to the world of color A final gatefold showcases a spectacular world of flora and faunaA lovely message about the importance of being true to oneself and respecting difference
