Rating: - Granna Reads
I got my copy of this book right before it was put on the "banned book" list while I was in college and taking Children's Literature. I've loved the book and so have both of my daughters. I recently purchased it for my two year old granddaughter, and she loves it as much as both of my daughters and I. It has a sweet story and the pictures are amazing. Garth Williams puts so much expression on the rabbits' faces that you can't help but empathize with them. You can't go wrong with this book.

Rating: - censorship
This is the book that opened my eyes to the censorship of books. Around 1960, this book was quite controversial and banned in some places. I had just started working in a library and went immediately to the book to see what the fuss was about.

Oh, yeah. It's a white bunny and a black bunny. I imagine the illustrator did this so you could tell one from the other in a black-and-white book; wouldn't it be confusing if they were both white or both black?

Busy (or maybe it's idle) minds ... Read More
