Little Rabbit Couldn't Sleep by Beth Shoshan


Little Rabbit Couldn't Sleep is a story about a little rabbit who tries to stay awake until he see's the big sliver moon. He spends the day trying to find the moon the fastest way he can. When he asks people for help in finding the moon he decides not to take their advice because it would take to long. In the end, the little rabbit falls fast sleep before getting to see the big moon in the sky. I guess he will have to try again tomorrow night.

Little Rabbit Couldn't Sleep
was a book for the new book shelf. This is another book I chose because of the illustrations. I love how the colors in this book are so bright and vibrant. They really pop off the page. The story itself and the writing was not my favorite. I did like the repetition of the line "Little Rabbit thought he had better ask someone else - just to be sure." Repetition is always a great way for children to get involved in their reading. They can read along with their parent or guardian.

I think this book is good for young readers in 1st or 2nd grade. I know children will like the pictures just as I had. They are very eye catching and beautifully done. Though the story was not my favorite, I still think this is a good book to read with children who are just starting to read. They can join in for the repetition parts and read along.
