Aww, this was the perfect read to read on Valentines Day. <3
This story is about a Brown Rabbit who is just dying to see his friend Little Rabbit who lives in the city. He is off to visit her, but then is dragged all over the place by her (though logical, she just wants to share her city with him, to show him all the awesome things that are in this city, I know the feeling of wanting to do that to someone I love/like. You just want to share it with them, and you just forget to ask if they really would like this). You can imagine what the Brown Rabbit's reaction is, yep, that is right, he wanders off.
But then something truly sweet happens, and well... you will have to see for yourself what happens. I know I was going awwww, and oohhh, and squeee all the time during those moments. They are so sweet.
I loved both rabbits, and I loved meeting them in this book. I hope there are other books about these characters, I would love to see if I can find them and read them.
The art is nice, and cute, and fits the style of the story perfectly. There are colours, but they aren't popping out, which also fits the story (calm and a bit romantic and sweet). I think if the author/illustrator would have gone with bright, popping-out colours it just wouldn't have fitted the story.
I would really recommend this book. If you are looking for a cute book with sweet illustrations, then try this one out.

A sweet story about a country rabbit who travels to the city to spend time with his best friend, Little Rabbit. Little Rabbit is so excited to show off the city that she doesn't pay attention to her best friend. It is resolved happily, which is nice. I loved the adorable, modern-looking illustrations. They were artistically sophisticated while maintaining child-friendliness.
Recommended for 4 and up.

So cute. I really liked Russell's illustration style with the swooping lines and smooth colors. The paper is matte and almost gives a vintage or sepia-like quality to the whole thing. A really charming book about remember to make time for important things--especially friends.

This book follows the story which began in Moon Rabbit about the friendship between Brown Rabbit and Little Rabbit, though this story focuses on Brown Rabbit’s point of view. Brown Rabbit was headed to the city for the very first time to visit his friend Little Rabbit. Little Rabbit is so excited to see him that she takes him on whirlwind tour of the city, dashing in and out of shops, sightseeing, and finally dancing. But it’s all too much for Brown Rabbit, who finally heads out on his own. Little Rabbit realizes then that she hadn’t really spoken to Brown Rabbit all day long and sets out to find him and make things right again.
Russell makes a nice exploration of friendship that children will easily relate to. By mixing in the bustle and rush of the city with the excitement of a visiting friend, the story becomes about taking time in life in general and taking time with those we love. It never gets too sentimental, but keeps it all simple and heartfelt. Once again, it is the illustrations that really shine here in their simplicity and style. Done in an organic palette of browns, greens, robin egg blue, and warm earthy yellow, the book is truly lovely. Add to that the simple lines and hip styling and you have a modern classic.
Highly recommended, though you should start with Moon Rabbit first, this book builds on the first book and offers an unrushed look at our busy lives. Appropriate for ages 3-6.
