1 bunny near
2 bunnies far
3 bunnies take a walk
4 in a car
BUNNIES NEAR AND FAR is a wonderful little boardbook. It has thick shiny pages that are rounded, and the text is large and simple. The artwork consists of cute bunnies in muted, calming tones.

| These numbers are big enough for little fingers to trace. And please note that the black at the edges is from my scanner. |
There's humor in this book --in both the art and lyrics-- BUT what I really love is that Sarah Jones (author/artist) gives adults so many things to point out and discuss with little ones.
BUNNIES NEAR AND FAR can be read to older babies just for entertainment for the rhyme and cadence. But with Toddlers you can spend more time on the numbers; both counting the cute bunnies, and identifying the numeric symbols. If you want to take it a step further, you can have your child trace the large numbers with their index finger --a practice used by some teachers to prepare children to write.
In addition, there are Contrasts in every set of pages. Some like near-and-far, walk-and-ride, and up-and-down may be familiar. But there are also those that are less common, like country-and-town, and sing (a song) and play (an instrument).
If you've ever read any of my reviews of boardbooks, or books for really young children before, you'll know that I love books that are multipurpose. They need to be entertaining, but if they also teach some science or numbers or morals, they're going to be the kind of book that would end up on my own home shelves, and they are going to be books that I recommend.
In this regard I thought BUNNIES NEAR AND FAR was a very useful book. It's the first book that I've read from publisher Blue Manatee, and I have to say that I'm impressed by how much information they've managed to include in so few pages.
Consider this book Recommended.

Thank you Blue Manatee for the chance to find out about Sarah Jones. I absolutely loved this book and ORANGE TRIANGLE FOX.
