My Review:
Complete with an entertaining narrative, cute and caring characters, and playful paintings, Bunnies to the Rescue! invites young readers to an exciting outdoor adventure full of fun discoveries.
Once informed by the Bunny Network that a bunny has been captured by a little boy, Briella, Bryson and Bennett waste no time going on a rescue mission. They track down the boy and his family as the bunny of concern is taken to seemingly dangerous places around the island, and wait for the right moment to step in. To their relief, however, the bunny is in good hands and doesn't really need to be rescued.
Set on the beautiful island of Nantucket, the story shares insightful messages about friendship, kindness and preconceptions through a team of warmhearted indigenous bunnies, who come to the realization that true friendship may transcend differences in personalities, specialties, family backgrounds and even species. What matters is that friends take care of each other and have each other's back. Their story also suggests that things are not always as they seem.
While the book keeps young readers concerned about the plush bunny's safety and whereabouts, it cleverly introduces them to various points of interest on Nantucket, such as the Children's Beach, the Whaling Museum, the Brant Point Lighthouse and the Maria Mitchell Aquarium. The natural scenery and iconic structures around these locations are vividly portrayed in the book's adorable illustrations.
Engaging and inspiring, Bunnies to the Rescue! is bound to win the hearts of little animal lovers, who might be tempted to visit Nantucket someday and befriend the bunnies there.
