Poor little bunny has lost his Granny and he is feeling and looking very blue. He even cries blue tears...boo hoo hoo! I like this book for many reasons not the least of which is the art and design. Nicola Smee's watercolor illustrations stand out strongly on the clean, white uncluttered pages with big, bold text that even a beginner reader could pick up and read to a younger sibling. When Bunny Blue's granny goes missing all of bunny's friends come to the rescue asking important questions to find out what Granny looks like. Bunny's endearing descriptions of a granny with twinkly eyes, a big smile, and soft furry arms provide all the clues his friends need to join in the search. What's the Matter Bunny Blue introduces a scary theme of being lost without being scary, and offers reassurance to a child that there are caring adults who will come to the rescue. Read it! Then talk to your child about what they should do if their granny ever goes missing. Seriously, this simple story with a happy ending provides a great segue for you to talk to your child about an important subject.
