To help get you in the Spring time and Easter spirit I have a really fun giveaway for my She Scribes readers.
We all know that the Easter Bunny hops into town and leaves baskets of goodies for little boys and girls. Well move over Easter Bunny, there’s a spunky new rabbit in town, and he has a suitcase full of special surprises for each of his friends: Dog, Toucan, Bear, Cat, Mouse, and Crab!
Sergio Ruzzier, author of the Amandina, has once again worked his considerable magic to create Hey, Rabbit! which is a playful tale that is sure to have kids shouting out the words and immersing themselves in the detailed and witty illustrations.
Booklist has this to say about this soon-to-be Easter classic, “Ruzzier’s animals are a very appealing group, sweet and expressive with adorable little bellies, and each wish leads to a colorful and lively scene.” We think Kirkus’ starred review says it all: “The colors are soft and clear; the line is vivacious and the little anthropomorphized animals are sweet. Their satisfied imaginations fill whole pages, and friendship emanates from every wriggle.”
To learn more about the author you can visit his blog,
There is a really cute video of Sergio reading “Hey, Rabbit!” to a group of Pre-K students at PS 9 in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY. They are so cute! It’s really sweet.
There is even a cute drawing activity your child can play with online. http://ruzzier.com/game.html
