From the Publisher

Rosemary Wells's popular rabbits return for Bunny Party. This time around, Max and Ruby host a birthday bash for Grandma. But each time Ruby sets the table, Max not only replaces Ruby's guests with his own, he also adds a few more in the process. (Viking, $15.99 32p ages 3-8 ISBN 0-670-03501-7; Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

PreS-K-Ruby is giving a birthday party for Grandma. As usual, she has taken care of all the details, inviting all of the guests without consulting her brother. Max is not at all pleased with the guest list; all of Ruby's favorite dolls are invited, but none of his. When he asks to bring three favorites, his sibling vetoes the idea and thus begins his innocently subversive method of sneaking his friends into the party. Just as Ruby begins to figure out what's happening, the guest of honor knocks at the door and the party crashers are the first to greet her. The colorful mixed-media illustrations are delightful, catching the mischievous rabbit and all his antics. Charming fun and a little counting practice rolled into one.-Be Astengo, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
