Editorial Reviews:
In Charlotte Zolotows charming childrens story Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, a young girl decides on a present for her mother.
Voiced in a patient, kid-friendly tone by Owen Jordan, this story follows The Little Girl as shes helped in her quest for a gift idea by Mr. Rabbit. First, they try to think of gifts that are red in color, then consider gifts in other colors.
The soft woodwinds, as well as Jordans soothing narration in this audiobook, will continually delight young children.

this is a much loved story book around the world
This book verges on the disturbing for me. But that is because of the times we live in. Rabbit makes suggestions for mom's present. Some of his suggestions raised my eyebrow. That said, this is a much loved story book around the world.
VERY GOOD STORY, CHILDREN LOVED IT.

beautiful illustrations
I bought this book for my preschool granddaughter who lives in Japan and did not know what a thunderstorm was (who knew that Japan doesn't have thunder storms). While there is a lot of text for her age, it has satisfied her curiousity about thunder and lightning, and she will grow into the more advanced text. The illustrations alone are worth purchasing this book.
A classic
Some people find this story slow. There is a lot of repetition, but because of that, my two year old listener loves it. She adores the pictures which, having been done by Maurice Sendak, are fabulous. It's just a little girl who is trying to figure out what to give her mother. Mr. Rabbit tries very hard to be helpful. What do you think they come up with?
Great book!!!
My daughter received this book in her Easter basket and she absolutely loves it! It is a very cute story that keeps my five year old's attention and has her begging me to read it again. My cousin recommended this book, remembering it from her childhood 20+ years ago. This book would also be a great story to incorporate into an art teachers lesson. It talks about colors and could have endless possibilities in the classroom.
