One of my son's (14 months) current favorites. There are simple words and great pictures, and the concepts are easy to convey as they get a bit older. He likes to read it again and again.

Wonderful picture book that teaches children about seasons. Very realistic and educational for Kindergarten.

“I am a Bunny” is a simple little story about a little male rabbit named Nicholas who tells what he enjoys about each season of the year. The book is structured as a board book. The illustrations are vivid in color and include other animals in the visual image of the season. As you hold the
I felt this book to be a good book to introduce the seasons of the year. Its strength is in the pictures which are very detailed around the season. I especially like the way you are viewing only one picture when you hold the book open avoiding any distraction from the page you are reading. I also liked the simple words used to describe Nicholas’ thoughts which are written in a language for beginning readers.
In the classroom a teacher could use the book to initiate a discussion about the changing seasons of the year. These discussions could allow the teacher to encourage the students to make new discoveries about the world around them. Science lessons about nature could be supported with the visual images in the book. These images show the changes in plant life, weather, and how the animals are preparing for that season.

A boardbook for young children on describing onesself.

Nicholas explains that he is, indeed, a bunny. He explains the seasons and his favorite aspect of each, such as "chasing the butterflies and letting the butterflies chase me" during spring and summer.
This is great for young readers and listeners. I read it to my 11 month old every night before bed.

Quite charming. ?�I didn't know Scarry could create such lovely pix. ?áSome of them would actually make wonderful posters for a toddler's room. ?áRead in?áThe 20th Children's Book Treasury.?á

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
And suddenly.
I knew how the words went, because I could have recited it to you from memory.
But now the words on the page connected with the words in my head.
And I was off to the races for the rest of my life.
I still own the book.
I may never have a child of my own to read it to, but someday it will be passed along to someone who will love it as much as I did, and still do.
