Home for a Bunny
by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Garth Williams, is a good book
for emerging readers. There is a good deal of repetition, which, of
course, will help with word recognition.
As for the artwork…
the bunny looks like a bunny and the others animals look like you'd
expect. I don't see much of a style peculiar to Williams,
unfortunately. The art does fit the story. It also explains some of
the text well. So, it accomplishes its purpose, for sure.
The story follows a
bunny who is looking for a new home. He stops to ask a robin where
it lives and knows it cannot live in a tree. It asks a frog and a
groundhog as well as knows it cannot live where they do. After
leaving the groundhog, the bunny comes across another bunny. The two
end up living together in a hole in the ground.
It is a simple story
and relatively easy to read. It would not be the kind of story a
mama would necessarily love reading over and over again, though. So,
if that's the kind of story you're looking for, make sure to pass
this one. However, if you'd like your children to learn that bunnies
live in holes in the ground (which is true), then this will be a
great addition to your children's book library.
