HI, ALL YOU RABBITS

by Carl Memling ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 2, 1970

WHAT DO YOU DO?"" In the pattern of Margaret Wise Brown's Where Have You Been? each of the animals hailed answers the question according to his kind -- and here by making his sound: ""We rub arid we purr./ Rub and purr./ Rub and purr./ That's what all cats do. . . And meow! We meow, too."" Periodically there's a reprise -- ""Hi, all you birds/ and all you pigs/ and all you cows./ What do alt of you do?"" -- that's rather clumsily worded since 'we all' don't fly and oink and moo and make milk; a subsequent recapitulation is more adroit, inviting tire child to answer himself. Then ""HI, ALL YOU BOYS AND GIRLS, WHAT DO YOU DO?"" to which the reply, blithely illustrated, is ""Just about everything!"" Breezy is the word for it, from the spot-colored sketches that call up Suzanne Suba to the sounds that are sure to be elicited from the audience; or to put it more precisely, pert, ephemeral.
