One of ACHUKA’s 5 Books of the Year 2023
ACHUKA Book of the Day 24 Apr 2023
“The chief fun of this Italian import will be counting the orange bunnies in Benetti’s duotone illustrations—they’re all there, each individually drawn and engaged, singly or in bunches, in tomfoolery. Human figures, rendered in grayscale, are mostly light-skinned, but there are also a few who are darker complexioned. A delightful domestic debacle with pictures to pore over and many bunnies to count.” KIRKUS
A special offer at the pet store results in an unforeseen rabbit situation for two siblings in this lighthearted cautionary tale.
After a month of pleading, Dad finally takes Owen and Zoey to the pet store to adopt a rabbit. Once there, a two-for-one special offer just cannot be ignored; so they take home two rabbits — one male, and one female. Two rabbits make more rabbits, who then make even more rabbits, and soon there are just too many of the sweet little creatures.
So begins a hilarious counting adventure as Owen and Zoey find homes for all of the rabbits. Full of little ‘easter eggs’ hidden in the art, Too Many Rabbits is a mirthful reminder to be careful of what you wish for and a hilarious lesson in chaos control for young readers.
