Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I became interested in wildlife at a very young age. The woods around our home were filled with wild creatures. I spent whole days outdoors tryng to find them. Because I was naturally talented in drawing, I drew pictures of the animals I liked best, first in cartoons, gradually learning to draw them realistically, until I could draw and dpaint any aninal I saw and make it look real and alive on my paper.

Everyone of the 104 children's books written and illustrated by me has been based on things I have seen for myself in Nature. I have always gone outdoors having no preconceived idea of what I might fine. Nature tells me what my day, my walk, my sightings, my drawings, and also my books will ultimately be. I am happy for whatever gift Nature gives me, a gift for the going.

Please look for my books in your library and here on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful illustrations, wonderful for young children
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2009

Like all of Jim Arnosky's book, this has absolutely gorgeous, and realistic, watercolor illustrations. The pages are completely filled with the illustrations, with each 2-page spread having a single sentence overlaying the text. The storyline is very simple about a mother bunny and her babies hopping around until it becomes rainy, and they hide before coming back out again. The age range of 4 to 8 is a bit off. This is going to be much too simple for most 8-year-olds, but younger children can enjoy the very simple story and beautiful pictures. My 8-year-old wouldn't come near this book, but my 6-year-old (who loves pretty pictures) does, as do my 4-year-old and 2-year-old. I'd put the age range at something like 2 to 6.

Such a cute book that I read with my two year old and five year old girls on rainy days. My two year old get so excited when we read this book, she loves bunnies. Both of my girls entertain themselves through the bunny hop and bunny actions that we make as we read the book.

I love learning from Jim Arnosky about animals in general and this one on rabbits is no exception, his lovely, refreshingly true-to-life paintings give the reader an impression of his love of the animals that he so carefully portrays. Great for K-3 but readers of all readers will enjoy the story and illustrations. Sybil Blazej, Librarian, artist, children's book author and a dog walker

These illustrations are just gorgeous and my little bunny-lover requests this book at bedtime often. And I happily comply because I love looking at the pictures as much as she does.

Oh, those little bunny bodies.

The illustrations in this book are adorable. Jim Arnosky has a magical feel for the natural world. My sons go crazy for those sweet little furry bunny bodies inthe pictures. Even thought they are "too big" for story books, this one never fails to please. It's like a guilty pleasure for them.

Lovely illustrations include many other creatures, and the natural settings are beautifully depicted.

We love this book.

simple sweet story of a rabbit family trying to seek shelter from the rain and some other meadow animals joining them. Great story for the young. Great for a spring time theme, meadow them, or rain theme. Very nice illustrations.
