But it is a good book for gentler, shyer readers. Those kids who identify with Jack's ambivalence about going to his first dress-up party will appreciate the images of cuddly rabbit fur, the large and loving rabbit family, Jack's 'lovey' stuffed Bunnikin.... There's something special about the drawings of the characters, too: the way one sister sits on her knees with her little bum sticking out at us, Jack's fur wet from his bath, the party guest leaping for a stray balloon... all very alive & wonderful."
