The rabbit from Bunny Slopes is back; this time, Bunny loses a scarf (a red ribbon bookmark) while picking apples. Readers help by retrieving the scarf and then tilting, rocking, and turning the book to get Bunny home. The interactive element and gently humorous text again combine for an enjoyable read; Rueda's red-tinted charcoal and digital illustrations create a cozy, autumnal feel.

Bunny's back (Bunny Slopes, 2016), and this time they're hungry. A rumbling tummy sends narrator Bunny to an apple tree. Butâuh-oh, they can't reach! Luckily, Bunny isn't alone in their questâthey have readers! Bunny politely asks these readers to "shake the book" to make the apples fall. When leaves fall instead, Bunny next prompts readers to "blow" the leaves away. Unfortunately, Bunny's scarf gets caught in the helpful gust. Trapped in the tree in the illustration, the scarf also extends physically out of the book as a ribbon artfully inserted at exactly the right page. Readers must grab the scarf/ribbon and move it to the next page so that Bunny can use it as a rope to reach the apples. Once their wagon is full of red deliciousness, Bunny wanders home. Along the way, readers must "tilt," "rock," and "turn" the book to keep Bunny moving. Rueda's digitally-rendered charcoal illustrations are black and white with yellow tones. The sparse text highlights commands to readers in large-point, often playfully set red display type that, along with the red of various objects, creates a lovely accent. Though Rueda employed similar metafictive elements in the book's predecessor, they're used much more effectively and originally in this sequel. The ribbon will inevitably get misplaced during read-alouds, so it's up to caregivers to remember to return it to its logical spot in the story. As sweet as apple pieâthough one slice might just be enough. (Picture book. 3-5) Copyright Kirkus 2018 Kirkus/BPI Communications.

Copyright 2018 School Library Journal.PreS-Kâ This interactive adventure invites readers to assist a very hungry Bunny with a "tummy rumble" as he gathers apples to take home. Large font instructions in colorfully contrasting red text plead with children to "shake" apples and "blow" leaves from a tree, while a helpful attached ribbon of a scarf allows readers to "grab," "place," "hold," and eventually "make a bridge" while assisting Bunny. The way home is filled with additional instructions, propelling Bunny's wagon faster as children tilt, rock, and turn the book to move him along toward homeâjust in time to pop through a hole and add apples to Mom's homemade pie. The simplicity of cartoon images enhanced by graphite pencil shading with minimal use of bold color allows the easy identification of Bunny's actions, expressions, and important objects on the page. Text separated on facing pages emphasizes action words and invites readers to follow Bunny's activity through turning pages.VERDICT This engaging title encourages listening, identification of events in the story, and interactivity. A first choice for libraries.âMary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX
