This book was ok, but it was not my favorite book by Patricia Polacco. I think that this book would be a great read aloud book for kindergarten or first grade, but it wasn't what I expected from her after reading some of her other books. The book told what sounds different animals make, but it kept repeating "bunnies say nothing at all." I guess I am just used to her other works such as Pink and Say that I was just expecting something different. I do think that younger children would really enjoy this as a morning or afternoon read aloud, but I don't think I could use it in any other way in my classroom.
I really did enjoy the illustrations in this book though. As in all her books the illustrations are just gorgeous. You can see details and they reflect really well on the story that the author is telling. I did find the bunnies with the red eyes a little creepy, but that is what they really look like. Overall, the book was ok. I'm not sure if I would read it again, but I may.
