Oh So Tiny Bunny

I would have preferred something that either skewed toward the Bunzilla rampaging through Tokyo, of course , or a cuter, more realistic bunny lose the pajamas and the huge blue eyes? This would make a fun read-aloud. He hops over houses. He bounds over bridges. He leaps over green hills and valleys. But no matter where Oh So looks… there is no bunny.

It was the surrealism that pulled me in, because I'm not an especially big fan of the saccharine and sentimental. Unfortunately where that one managed to subtly convey a moral under the guise of a counting book, there is no subtlety here.

    Mar 19, Dolly rated it it was ok Recommends it for: This is an overly sweet story about a little bunny named 'Oh So Tiny. The pictures are very adorable and outshine the simple narrative.
