1 sentence description
The astro bunnies "see a star, think they'd like to go that far," and that is exactly what they do as the reader follows them to outer space.
curriculum connection
Space, Science.
personal reaction
I loved this book and despite the illustrations, I gave it a five. It has rhymes in it, it is an adorable story and it incorporates an incredible amount of science within it.
assessment of visual appeal
Some of the pages were appealing to me, and the endpapers were cute cute bunnies frolicking around. The illustrations were rather patchy to me. There were a lot of layers of patters on the pages.

Great rhythm for reading out loud and I love the retrofuturistic look of the illustrations.

Rhyme about space traveling bunnies. The drawing style is interesting, definitely made the story better. Would be fun to read with kids to show a different art style.

Super cute story of "bunnies" in space. They see stars and explore outer space. I would use this in Kindergarten. It introduces space at a very elementary level. There is not much text and there is quite a lot of "space" on the pages. The text however does rhyme which is something young kids love. This would be a great book for beginning readers.

Cute idea but the book didn't hold my son's attention from page to page.

Especially recommended for preschool/kindergarten children who like space and like to imagine they're exploring space.

This book is great for ECE Readers because there is not much text and there are large pictures. It is written in very simple rhymes about bunnies charting the universe. Very cute and sweet.

Good storytime book! Great rhythm and sound. Pairs well with Dr. Seuss and other nonsense and fun books.

Good, not great. It works to teach us that writers use song patterns to help write stories. We will give that a try in our own writing.

Illustrations don't work in Storytime. I turned it into a flannel set!

It has some really fantastic art. The pictures aren't super detailed but the authors depiction of space is very cool. The rhyming also adds a nice touch.
