"We're the little Honeys.
A little Honey is sweet.
Quack quack, squeak squeak,
Thump your great big feet!"
This is the special song, sung "all together now" by the Honeys--Mommy Rabbit, Bunny, Little Duckling, and Miss Mouse. Though Bunny is Mommy Rabbit's natural-born son, Little Duckling and Miss Mouse are taken in as family. This happy, cross-species crew plays "splashy-sploshy" and "itchy-twitchy, swirly-whirly" games. Their favorite activity of all? The "Thump-Your-Great-Big-Feet" game! Youngsters will have plenty of opportunities to sing, squeak, and quack along in this jaunty read-aloud. And, as we'd expect from the illustrator of Guess How Much I Love You and Bunny My Honey, the endearing illustrations would soften the heart of the steeliest of readers. "Families can be complicated," says Jeram. "We all want to belong--sometimes we can do that by celebrating our differences." (Baby to preschool) --Karin Snelson
From Publishers Weekly
Jeram goes back on location with the characters first introduced in Bunny My Honey for a dulcet sequel that relates how Mommy Rabbit and her little "Honeys"--Bunny, Little Duckling and Miss Mouse--became a family. Played out to the refrain of their favorite song ("We're the little Honeys./ A little Honey is sweet./ Quack quack, squeak squeak,/ Thump your great big feet!"), the story line introduces each member of the trio as their verse and advent into the family is explained. "Quack quack" for instance, is Little Duckling's cue: "Its special meaning is, I'm yellow and fluffy and good at splashing and sploshing." A host of jolly antics follows, including the boisterous "Thump-Your-Great-Big-Feet game." If the territory here has been well-mapped elsewhere, Jeram's subtle emphasis on the idea that families are made, not born ("Even if I don't look like a bunny, Mommy Rabbit's still my mommy just the same") gives the material a fresh spin. Lively language ("squirly-twirly," "itchy-twitchy") and gentle repetition stoke the read-aloud engine, and Jeram's watercolors are as pleasurable as ever. Ages 3-up. (Jan.)
