Rabbit Finds a Way

Expectations abound in this easy to read Delton story as Rabbit quests for carrot cake. This animal fantasy tells the story of Rabbit's journey to his friend Bear's house who "always bakes carrot cake on Saturday". In a fast moving plot, Rabbit meets a few of his friends along the way. Each encounter poses a different dilemma for Rabbit as he hurriedly tries to get to Bear's house. Lasker illustrates these scenes in an easily understandable manner which harmonizes well with the simple, repetitive text. Hopes are lost when Rabbit finally gets to Bear's house as he is "just waking up". As the title reveals, in the end, Rabbit surprisingly finds his way to some mouth watering carrot cake. Ending the story with "..." allows the reader to predict what they think would happen and compare it with the final illustration. The simple, yet stimulating plot along with the supportive illustrations, easily decodable text and delightful characters will certainly grasp and hold the attention of a beginning reader.
