She has passed her physical fitness test. She has passed her emergency roping test. Now it′s time for the toughest test of all: the Field test. There is a giraffe in a mud hole who is sinking fast. A pack of hyenas is fast approaching. Will Newbie have what it takes to save the day?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newbie, the aptly named trainee of the tough-minded Rescue Bunnies, is eager to prove she has what it takes to become a full-fledged member. She gets her chance when a giraffe gets stuck in the mud in the middle of hyena country. There s just one more thing Newbie needs to know: if the hyenas get too close, the bunnies call a Code Red. Evacuation, explains a crew member. We leave, giraffe stays. Will Newbie save the day or just her own skin? Menchin s crisp digital images initially feel too juvenile given the premise (the rabbits seem more mouselike than rabbity), and Cronin (who collaborated with Menchin on Wiggle, Bounce, and Stretch) relies on a surprising number of tired gags and movie quotes (everything from You can t handle the truth! to Here s looking at you, kid ) to give the Rescue Bunnies a whiff of hard-boiled irreverence. But once the Rescue Bunnies get on the scene, and Newbie bonds with the stranded giraffe, the comic melodrama kicks into high gear. Ages 4 8.
