Snorkel Rabbit! Bunny Overboard by Claudia Rueda
IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TO SAIL AWAY WITH ME?
A sailing we shall go with Bunny! It's over the waves, Mateys, as Bunny launches his little red sailboat. But he needs help! His sails need some BREEZE, please!BLOW!AHH! THANK YOU! But now Bunny needs someone to rock the boat, just for the fun of it. But THEN he wants more! But too much rocking is... OOOOO!
STOP! BUNNY OVERBOARD!Kersplash! Too much rocking almost swamps the boat. A curious seal gives this maneuver a fishy eye, while Bunny decides it's time to drop anchor. Bunny suits up in his snorkeling gear, fins and all, and jumps off the stern of his sailboat.
BUNS AWAY!
The fascinated seal watches as Bunny sinks to the sandy sea floor and spots an interesting rock. He just has to touch it... only to find it's not a rock, but... Whoops! an Octopus!! Bunny disappears in a cloud of black octopus ink! He solicits some help in wiping off the ink. Restored, he tries to pet a friendly fish, but gets another surprise!
BLOWFISH!Ah, here's something that's not a skittish denizen of deep!
SHIPWRECK!It's a sunken shipwreck, and after Bunny scares all the fish away, he decides to swim through a porthole. There's no treasure chest inside, but there is a very large sea shell. As the friendly seal peers through the porthole, Bunny gives the giant mollusk a tap and it opens to reveal a giant pearl inside. TREASURE!
What an expedition this has been! Now Bunny's ready to weigh anchor and and head back to port.
And with the friendly seal providing the wind power to fill the boat's sail, it's about time to seek the high and dry, in Claudia Rueda's latest, Bunny Overboard
(Chronicle Books, 2020).
(Chronicle Books, 2020). With a game of "Spot the Seal" throughout the book, this recent sequel is a sure-fire toddler tale, and with the easy vocabulary and witty plot, it works well as a beginning reader as well. This one, Rueda's third Bunny tale, is also a salute to the interactive picture book pioneered by best-selling author-illustrator Herve' Tullet's Press Here
