This boardbook is interactive. A plump little bunny (tethered to the book with a ribbon)gets to enjoy a new activity on each successive page. Toddlers get to put bunny in its high chair, open cupboard doors, take bunny hopscotching, slip bunny into the tub, etc. Very sweet little book with adorable illustrations.

This brightly illustrated board book encourages toddlers to fill in recesses on each page with actual M&M candies. Some pages request specific colors, others allow the child to choose which M&M's to incorporate into the illustration. A fun little interactive book with a novel treat factor!

Our book club chose this as a "relief" book after struggling through Faulkner's THE SOUND AND THE FURY, and while I only expected lighthearted entertainment, this was a fascinating, engrossing read. I set aside certain daily obligations (!) to sneak away with this book...I could not put it down until i was finished. HIGHLY recommended escapist reading!

"The Venice of Nietzke's book is like a hologram, jumping out of the pages in vivid and three-dimensional detail, a cast of characters so believable you can almost smell the stale wine on the bum's breath, or feel the aching emptiness in the life of an oceanfront-cafe waitress. Nietzke makes you feel good about the durability of the human spirit." --LA Reader

"Nietzke's prose evokes Joan Didion in its clarity and vision...An absolute jewel of a book, studded with sensitivity, grace and humor." --Publishers Weekly

"Nietzke lovingly salvages the details of wrecked lives and builds them into a careful portrait of a wholly different California." --London Times Literary Supplement

"Remarkable..Nietzke brings to her observations such warmth of imagination that her characters not only live on the page, but create a whole, vivid world that we can all enter and move around in. Nietzke's clean, strong prose and honest intelligence make it [a book] to be re-read and treasured for its sadness, its humour, and its recognisable truth." --London Daily Telegraph
