Although it can be argued that the text is really directed more toward parents than children, libraries will want to have this on hand just because of its inviting message. The text is short and simple: Read to your bunny often, / It's twenty minutes of fun. It's twenty minutes of moonlight, / It's twenty minutes of sun. The last verse exhorts adults to read to their bunnies often, and your bunny will read to you. Each line of text gets one of Wells' delightful bordered pictures of parents and children at all sorts of activities, from bathing to skating, but always with a book in hand. Proceeds from the book will be donated to a national literacy program. (Reviewed May 1, 1998)
