This book reminded me a lot of "The Tortus and the Hare" only it follows four rabbits and their race with different kinds of transportation. The pictures are full of fun colors and easy to follow!

My son's school sent this book home with him. He is an emerging reader although he isn't reading yet. I had him repeat a few things with me. He brought the book in. He's eager to learn to read.

This isn't much of a story; four bunnies have a race. One is in a car, one a boat, one a balloon, and one runs. The vocabulary is simple. The rhymes are not the best, but they are okay. My son enjoyed the story.

5 year old says: I liked it because the runner bunny wins and I like to run sometimes.
