A girl is picking out presents for he mother, and Mr. Rabbit helps her. Great illustrations.
Themes -- giving, colors ( )

I love finding and reading old children's books. This one was okay. The illustrations were nice but the repetition throughout the story because stale after a few pages. I did like the ending with the fruits and the basket. I guess children could learn the colors from this book and the items associated with the colors. ( )

A little girl seeks help from a rabbit in finding the perfect birthday present for her mother. She begins with colors her mother likes and goes from there ending up each time with fruit. The story is sweet in the way the girls says she would give her mother the sun and the stars if she could. The illustrations are soft and go from bright in the beginning to dark to match the time of day. ( )

I really enjoye dthis book because of the rabbit. The rabbit looked like a person and he was able to help this young girl locate the perfect present for her mother's birthday. They were able to wlak through the woods locating differnet colored things in order to be able to find the perfect gift. In the end, the little . girl was able to fill her mothers birthday basket with allot of her favorite things and making that the lovely present ( )
