review 1: Loved it! I know Gravett is a beloved author-illustrator but I usually don't connect well with her work. I'm so happy this is an exception! I found it utterly charming, the calendar format, the personalities of the rabbits, the little treasures "tucked inside" like the carrot recipes and the baby (bunny) book. So cute! Then book would have been a charmer right there but with the added educational value about Fibonacci it gets five stars from me. What a clever and fun way to make math entertaining! I must say that this would be better suited to the upper age picture book crowd and NOT for storytime use as it is very busy and if you read all the little "inserts" there's a great deal of text.
review 2: I thought this was a cute and clever way to introduce child... moreren to the Fibonacci sequence. My children (ages 6, 9 and 11) enjoyed the lift up flaps, the newspaper, and the illustrations. They were surprised by how quickly the rabbit family grew...and wanted to know if it was factual. We discussed that rabbit populations do grow quickly, but some rabbits would die or leave the field and parents wouldn't always have exactly two babies, one boy and one girl. I am not certain this would be the greatest read aloud for a class full of children because some of the information was quite small and it is a bit lengthy if you read all of the information. But if you could use an ELMO or similar projector and project it onto a SMART board or screen, then it could make a very engaging math book for a classroom. less
