With imagination under the rabbit ears, this read hops into an exciting adventure and invites to dream.

Ollie and her toy bunny can't wait for the rain to stop, so they can play outside. When they venture out into the still wet and breezy world, something terrible happens. Bunny finds itself in a difficult predicament, one that Ollie's not sure she can save him from. But then, every good adventure stretches imagination to its limits.

The moment I picked up this book, I could tell it was done with care. Not only because of the fun story which truly invites to imaginative adventure, but also thanks to the extras in the pages. Little windows are cut out here and there to allow the reader a 'peek' through to the other page. Golden, metallic touches scattered between the pages give it a sense of quality and add a nice variety. The illustrations are mostly down in shades of grey and white, allowing the small dabs of color to accent in just the right places. The book simply invites young listeners to flip through the pages on their own after the story is read to them.

The tale itself is an adventure. Ollie is a cute girl who has an obvious loves for rabbits. She's even adorned in a rabbit costume. Her adventure outside illustrates her joy for simply playing in nature, an aspect especially important to remind kids of in these modern times. While the rabbit does find itself in a dangerous situation, its enough to jack the tension up high without crossing a border, which might scare more sensitive readers. After that, the story takes flight and lands into pure fantasy with twists which surpass logic and land into joyful fun.

It's a great read before bedtime and is a fun read. I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it quite a bit. So cute! ( )
