7 BEST THINGS ABOUT FAMILY

A rabbit brood shares the things that make family special.

This book shares seven things (generated by kids themselves, according to the back cover) that little ones love to do with their families, among them playing and vacationing. Reminiscent of those in Lucy Cousins’ Maisy series, with bright colors and thick black outlining, the artwork portrays a family of snow-white bunnies building a play fort, enjoying chocolate chip pancakes, cuddled on a bed reading a book. The bunnies are cute and appealing, with rosy cheeks and simple expressions. An image of one little rabbit enjoying pancakes, tongue sticking out in delight, is especially adorable. Another page, with text reading “Hugs and kisses are the best,” depicts a little rabbit with a cut knee while a parent comforts them. There are numerous board books on the topic, however, and this one doesn’t quite stand out—some may wish the book had included representations of different kinds of families, such as single-parent. Still, the concept is meaningful, and the book will likely please little ones. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

A sweet, somewhat familiar look at family.
