Young Reader Reaction: S/He took to the book immediately, and it was a regular request for about two weeks. It's not part of the every-day request list, but it is still there.
Adult Reader Reaction: Little Rabbit's mishaps are predictable, but the story is pleasant, and there's a happy ending! We expect it will be very popular once s/he starts reading to her/himself.
Pros: The story is reminiscent of a number of Aesop's fables and Peter Rabbit. The vocabulary is for new readers, so integrating the familiar tale(s) with "new" words builds confidence & skills.
