The story about cute little bunny Nicholas going through the seasons is calming (pleasantly soporific if the time is right) and the illustration of Nicholas lying in the sun and watching the birds is very pretty. Her not wanting to read my favorite book to me anymore really hurt my feelings, but I didn't show it. This book is perfect for babies and toddlers who are actively discovering the natural world around them. This was my favorite as a wee lad of 2 or 3 years old and holds a special place in my heart to this day. Beautifully and simply written by Ole Risom, and perfectly illustrated by Richard Scarry, this was one of the few children's books I never tired of reading aloud.
Such a contrast to that fraud Eric Carle, whose anti-capitalist screed "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" drips with socialistic, vegetarian dogma in every sentence. His books have sold over 100 million copies around the world and are currently published in more than twenty languages. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. One of Golden's most beloved titles, this beautifully illustrated, gentle story is now available as an eBook. The pictures are absolutely beautiful, and the story is simple and short enough that my baby can pay attention the whole way through, without being annoyingly simple or cutesy.
When winter comes, Nicholas watches the snow falling from the sky, then curls up in his hollow tree and dreams about spring. Sometimes when she gets fidgity when we are somewhere that she needs to behave I just recite it to her and it usualy calms her down! The bunny is adorable, and the sweeping vista illustrations add so much to the experience of the book. I very clearly remember the day that I wanted my mother to read it to me, but she was doing something else at the time, so I sat in the doorway of my closet and opened it up, wanting to look at the pictures again, at least. Laura Tillotson's article in Book Links cites a school library media specialist who always gives this book as a gift and receives rave reviews.
After five years of drawing maps and designing graphics for the US Army, he moved to New York to pursue a career in commercial art. My 16m olds want to hear it over and over and love when I point out things such as the snow, frogs, leaves etc. I had high hopes for it, the art is old school, as it would be for something that was originally published in the 60s, and I usually like older art.In one scene, he is threatened by rainfall, and just when you think it is going to be the end for him he decides to keep dry under a toadstool. I also believe I've uncovered why - to this day, irl - I see a toadstool and always regret there isn't any toad.
