About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is full of 'wiggles' and needs a joyful, rhythmic outlet for their physical energy. It is the perfect choice for a rainy afternoon or right before a transition when you want to channel high energy into a structured, playful activity. The story follows a troupe of high-spirited rabbits putting on a musical variety show, emphasizing themes of teamwork and the inclusive joy of performance. Designed for the 0 to 4 age range, Boynton's signature rhyme and bouncy cadence make it an easy read-aloud that builds vocabulary through action verbs. Beyond the fun, it offers a subtle lesson in belonging: the rabbits eventually invite others (and the reader) to join their line. It turns a simple reading session into an interactive 'event' that celebrates being part of a group.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, joyful, and safe exploration of play.
Ideal Reader
A high-energy preschooler who loves being the center of attention or a toddler who is just beginning to mimic movements and loves rhythmic repetition.
Parent Prep
This book is best read 'warm' rather than 'cold.' Parents should be prepared to stand up, hop, and perhaps have a pair of make-believe bunny ears ready to go. A parent might reach for this when their child is literally jumping off the couch or when they see their child feeling shy about joining a group activity at preschool or dance class.
