Little White Rabbit - Kevin Henkes

Greenwillow Books, 2011
HC $16.99
for very young kids
32 pgs.
Rating: 4.5
Copyright information is on the bottom of the title page - this is the first time I've seen that.

Two 10 x 10ish square pages facing each other. One is a thick-green-line bordered illustration, the other is the text - just one or two lines - large green font on white-white page. Every so oftrn ther is an edge-to-edge illustration. All the illustrations look like they're outlined in green marker and colored in lightly with colored pencils. Lovely.

As the little white rabbit travels through the surrounding s near his home, he wonders. What would it be like to be green? to be tall? to be immobile? to fly? But he never wonders who loves him.

Gentle. Simple. Lovely.
