Review
"Little Rabbit wants to attend the circus, and his mother says that he can, but first he has to clean his totally trashed playroom . . . Using single and double pages, the artist populates this story with an array of animals, plenty of detail, and the perfect mix of colors. Children should relate to this circus tale, and parents will enjoy how the mother saves the day."and#8212;School Library Journal and#160; "Charmingly off-kilter, with emotions that are spot-on."and#8212;Publishers Weekly and#160; "The Klises once again offer delightful storytelling and art, with winsome, decidely toylike animal characters.and#160;Young fans will enjoy Little Rabbit's antics, even if his room does end up getting cleaned."and#8212;Booklist and#160; "This gem of a tale offers repsite, in the form of comic relief, from the age-old skirmish between parents and children over cleaning up."and#8212;Kirkus
