Now for the intended age group, for very young children, Ole Risom's 1963 I Am a Bunny might well and totally hit the proverbial sweet spot. However, as an older and of course therefore a much more critical reader and as someone who also never did encounter I Am a Bunny as a young child (and thus having no fondly nostalgic memories of Ole Risom's text and Richard Scarry's accompanying pictures either), I have to admit that albeit I do consider Nicholas Bunny Rabbit telling us all about his life and what he enjoys doing during the four seasons sweetly tenderly engaging (and that I indeed very much do enjoy and aesthetically admire Richard Scarry's illustrations and their visually magical celebration of spring, summer, autumn, winter and nature in general, even as I do wonder a bit how Nicholas would be able to fit under a fly agaric mushroom to shelter from the rain), I personally have to indeed question why since I am a Bunny clearly is a narrative celebrating nature and the natural world, why Nicholas is then still depicted by Richard Scarry as being clad like a human being and not like a truly natural rabbit just in his fur.I didn't. I had high hopes for it, the art is old school, as it would be for something that was originally published in the 60s, and I usually like older art. But I kept getting confused by the scale. Sometimes the bunny was quite large and sometimes micro sized. RICHARD SCARRY(1919-1994)is one of the world's best-loved children's authors EVER! Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over his books filled with all the colorful details of their daily lives. No other illustrator has shown such a lively interest in the words and concepts of early childhood. (Whenever he was asked how old he was, Scarry would always put up one hand and laugh, saying, "five!") Nothing pleases me more than my kids falling in love with the same books I obsessively read as a child. This book is, quite literally, the FIRST book I ever read. It was read to me many, many times. I very clearly remember the day that I wanted my mother to read it to me, but she was doing something else at the time, so I sat in the doorway of my closet and opened it up, wanting to look at the pictures again, at least. The classic book illustrated by Richard Scarry is now available with charming audio narration. In the spring, Nicholas likes to sniff the flowers, and in the summer, watch the frogs in the pond. In the fall, he watches the animals getting ready for winter, and in winter, watches the snow falling from the sky. This beautifully illustrated, gentle story is one of Golden’s most beloved titles.

Ok, I lied. This isn't one of Kate's favorite books, it's my favorite book to read to Kate. She only likes it if I change the words so instead of "snow", I say "marshmallows" or something like that, and she can laugh and correct me. But then if I don't change the words, she gets mad and tells me "No, do it wrong!", but then it isn't really as fun, because how much of a surprise is it for me to read the words wrong when she just told me to.Disney Toy Story Characters Shirt, Disney God Says That I Am Shirt, Disney Family Vacation Shirt, Toy Story Group Shirt, Easter Gift Jesus Shirt, Jesus Gift, Religious Shirt, Religious Gift, Christian Gift, Jesus The Way The Truth The Life Shirt, Christian Shirt, Jesus Tee Oh I loved this book when I was little! I loved the illustrations so much! The bunny and his outfit and especially the mushrooms fascinated me! I need to see if I can find it! Oh nostalgia — take me home ! I Am A Bunny is one of my all-time faves. Beautifully and simply written by Ole Risom, and perfectly illustrated by Richard Scarry, this was one of the few children's books I never tired of reading aloud.
