AH!

by Géraldine Collet, Estelle Billon Spagnol (Illustrator)

"Ah!" A rabbit, delighting in the beautiful day, sets out for a walk. But "ah" takes on an entirely different connotation as the rabbit finds himself in a dark tunnel full of mysterious inhabitants. Back in the sunshine, he discovers a little spider has hitched a ride on his shoulder, which he acknowledges with a squeamish "Ahh . . .AHHHH!"

The whole time I was reading this I was thinking a couple of things:

1. My sister would so love this as she is afraid of spiders. I could hear the screaming in her voice...but a bit smaller because it is a bunny screaming. Which leads me to

2. Those are the ODDEST bunnies I have ever seen! Sometimes they look like dogs and sometimes koalas. If they hadn't told me that these were BUNNIES I would NEVER have guessed what animal they were.

Over all I liked this strange little almost wordless book.

Rabbit is having a lovely day when he is surprised by a spider. Aaaah! Thing go better when he meets a pretty girl rabbit, but she also has a spider on her ear. Oh no!The spiders end up happily together. This is a cute, somewhat random import from France, with the story carried largely through sweet, childlike illustrations with a lot of white space. This is not a first-purchase but has a certain delight to it.

A very cute short book for kids

A cute story about a bunny who is enjoying a beautiful day and walks into a dark tunnel where mysterious creatures live. Once the bunny leaves the tunnel he discovers that a little spider as gotten on him. He reacts to this little visitor with a EEK! and an AH!. The story continues with a series of events of the bunny trying to get rid of the little visitor.

This book is not good for a read aloud however it is good for students to predict what the bunny does about the spider. This book is good for grades Pre-K thru 1 and ages 3 thru 7.

I enjoyed this book because of its simple story and pictures. It is a cute book.

One word takes on many different meanings in this nature-based romance. One rabbit goes about its day, enjoying life's pleasures, until a spider causes some complications. Instead of just ignoring the little creature, the bunny becomes upset, and even allows the spider and its friend to come between him and possible romance. The book, first published in France, made me chuckle. The illustrations are sweet, simple, and allow readers to focus on the main character and his plight. Perhaps these bunnies need to chill out a bit and let things just be.

Cute and will really capture some children, particularly those attuned to subtle humor. It is also the type of book that I think will reward young re-readers--they will like it all the more when they know what is coming (the first time through is just a little odd).

Bunnies are afraid of spiders. Those pesky little spiders interrupt all kinds of important things! But are they really just misunderstood?

This is me as a bunny rabbit! Simple story without words; just exclamations and pictures--you get to tell and discover the story for yourself.

Not totally wordless but close. Plot wasn't very engaging. Not a good read aloud. Pictures were ok. French author/illust.

This one didn't really do anything for me. Boring.

Simplistic tale of bunny love and spider fear
