Hurley's quiet picture book about a day in the life of a cottontail rabbit family will be sure to delight preschoolers. A perfect companion to the author's Fetch (2015), this story sheds light on the author's fascination with animals in their element, going about their day, which is carried out in the appealing, eye-catching illustrations in soft, natural tones. Since only one word is used to emphasize the action in each spread, visual literacy is very much in the foreground, and these light images underscore the animals' peacefulness. This explores cottontail rabbits animal many readers might see hopping in their yards or neighborhoods, if they look carefully their natural habitat. The story begins as early as the inner title pages, featuring close-up paintings of the lush, pale green grass to establish setting. On the following page and prior to text, a mother bunny is nicely contrasted against the crisp, white page, greeting readers before she leads her kin to play in the grass, protect themselves, and snuggle! A wonderful "winding-down" book for bedtime.
