REVIEW: A Is for Another Rabbit by Hannah Batsel

JayneB Reviews / Book Reviewschildren's fiction / childrens-books / picture books2 Comments

A rabbit-obsessed narrator makes an owl increasingly irate by refusing to play by the rules of a conventional alphabet book. Every entry is about bunnies, from “delightful, dynamic, daredevil rabbits” to “xylophone rabbits and rabbits on drums!” Readers will pore over scenes of bunnies at the circus, in a tiny town, at the museum, even in a motorcycle gang. Author-illustrator Hannah Batsel takes readers on a delightful romp through the alphabet and keeps them laughing all the way to the ridiculously fun conclusion.

Review

Think it’s impossible to write an alphabet book that focuses on rabbits? Owl thought so, too. But here it is! Rabbits, hares and kits (not kites) everywhere. Tall rabbits, short rabbits, a rabbit, bunnies, white rabbits / black rabbits / rabbits with spots. The art work is adorable and the book includes lots of descriptive words that will make up for the lack of cows, dogs, foxes, iguanas, rhinos, and water buffaloes. Children can also count the number of rabbits per page and work on their numbers. Be sure to look for the bunny slippers! B

Another long time reader who read romance novels in her teens, then took a long break before started back again about 25 years ago. She enjoys historical romance/fiction best, likes contemporaries, action- adventure and mysteries, will read suspense if there's no TSTL characters and is currently reading more fantasy and SciFi.
