PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Even before the title page in this lively romp of a bedtime book, a white rabbit challenges readers to a race to bed. The rabbit s adventures are initially conventional ( Up to bed.../ down to bed... ), but quickly become silly ( All around a goat to bed ). The wide-eyed, irrepressible rabbit goes through poison ivy, swings across a river of crocodiles, and endures outlandish adventures full of non sequiturs ( Sneeze to bed!/ Grilled cheese to bed!/ Angry, angry bees to bed ). In a clever bedtime-friendly ending, it announces, Looks like I beat you!... Oh, you re already in bed?/ You were way up ahead?/ Okay then, race you to sleep! Shea s illustrations of the rabbit with purple kewpie doll eyes, pink ears and belly, and cottony fur are a tad saccharine, and its expressions are somewhat repetitive, but like the high-energy narrator of Shea s New Socks (a book he pictures the rabbit reading), this zippy rabbit gets the last laugh as it winks at readers to indicate it s only pretending to sleep. Ages 4 7.
