Bedtime, Bunny!

Keith Faulkner. Price Stern Sloan, $4.99 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-8431-0636-7

A pair of board books by Keith Faulkner feature die-cut covers with 3-D renderings of the title characters. Bedtime, Bunny!, illus. by Manhar Chauhan, follows a very determined Bunny looking for places to hide his eggs and meeting with less than cooperative responses from the farm animals. In Good Morning, Chick!, Chick scouts the farmyard for playmates while everyone is busy preparing for Easter. Chauhan's colorful animals look like they've been assembled from pieces of wood shaped with a jigsaw.
