PreS-Bunny loves his bottle, and he takes it everywhere. When he arrives at Ducky's house, he discovers that she is having a tea party with Piggy. Bunny wants to play with his friends, but he is sucking on his bottle. When he sees his friends drinking from cups, he asks for tea to be poured into his bottle. Ducky refuses, informing Bunny that "Bottles are for babies." The little rabbit realizes that he wants to be a big boy, so he disposes of his beloved object and takes a drink from a bright-red bunny mug. This tough topic is handled subtly but the point is made. Complementing this endearing tale are expressive, bright watercolor illustrations with black outlines that make them jump out from the page, allowing easy sharing during storytime.-Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
