The Black Rabbit

I purchased this book to read to my grandchildren. They all love it, especially my three-year-old grandson who begs for me to read it to him again and again. Right from the moment he sees Black Rabbit's tall self, towering over white rabbit, he momentarily covers his eyes from page to page, feeling frightful, even though by now he knows the conclusion of this highly original story.Besides this book's mounting suspense elements, the illustrations are precious and won't disappoint. I particularly love it when white rabbit thinks he is finally removed from danger, deciding to sit down in the forest clearing to munch on a tiny carrot. It's such a delightful image that the reader knows won't last since on the opposite page, gleaming from the deep, dark woods, are two ferocious eyes that are staring at our unsuspecting friend in a most sinister manner. Certain peril mounts all over again, making the readers' hearts thump right along with scrambling white rabbit's. However, a certain twist of fate comes to the rescue in this astounding tale much to the relief of everyone!

I used this book in my preschool classroom. The book was very engaging and was a great resource for our topic. We discussed shadows and how they are created. Students were engaged and wanted this book reread multiple times throughout the same week .

Quality children's book. The tale is about rabbits shadow and how he ends up needing it instead of wanting to lose it. Very appropriate for ages 2 to 6

This book is great for understanding that their are different side of each other. We all have a fierce side that can help protect us. This is great for understanding that we can be true to all the ways of us.

The book was a gift for my granddaughter she love it. The delivery was very fast, thanksGrace

This book is quite lovely. At first I thought to scary. In the end it becomes clear shadow is your friend for life.

A mi hijo de 7 años de habla española le encanto. Es de esos libros que le compro para que lea el solo y realmente es divertido.

My 4 year old loves this book. What a great way to make a story with the shadow of the little bunny.

Those with little children will get the pleasure of seeing their little ones discover shadows, especially their own, and this book encourages their imagination on the subject in a playful and enjoyable way. It follows an innocent rabbit who tries to get away from his scary shadow only to befriend it when it saves it from a wolf. A great story about light, overcoming fears and friendship, and no doubt one that will provoke even the littlest of readers.

Eine liebenswerte, sprachlich ausgezeichnete Variation des "Schattenthemas" mit sehr schönen Bildern. Sowohl unsere Zweijährige als auch unsere Fünfjährige wollten die Geschichte immer wieder vorglesen bekommen. Weil unsere Kinder zweisprachig aufwachsen, besitzen wir die Originalausgabe in englischer Sprache. Die deutsche Übersetzung "Schwarzhase" ist ebenso ausgezeichnet gelungen.

Such a sweet story - my daughter absolutely loved it. What a positive story of acceptance. Just enough suspense for my 4-year-old. We have read it many times since!

This is SUCH a gorgeous book. I ordered it as my son loves rabbits. We read it at bedtime and it was down at the breakfast table this morning. A real hit. A very sweet, heart warming story.

didnt take my 2 year old more than a week to learn it by heart, and he keeps asking for more and more reads of this before bed time. it was the first book he choose him-self at the library, and since falling in love with it so quickly, i just had to buy it for him.i absolutely love this story:)
