review 1: I am such a fan of Il Sung Na's artwork: the pictures in this book are beautiful with the snow rabbit hopping from winter to spring. However, while the artwork is incredible, I felt the story itself was just okay. The story line begins with a white rabbit in winter and then it moves to different animals and what they do during the winter, and then winds up with brown rabbit in spring --transitions from page to page could have been done better. Overall, it still is good read-aloud for preschool children to touch on the theme of winter.
review 2: "Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit: A Book of Changing Seasons" written by Il Sung Na is a whimsically illustrated book about a rabbit who turns white for the winter and hops around his forest to see what the other animals do d... moreuring the changing seasons. Turtles swim off for warmer waters and squirrels stock-pile acorns in this charming piece. I would have liked to see a summer month portrayed but the fall-winter-spring transition is beautiful and adorable and perfect for discussing the winter months and other types of animals. This book is intended for kindergartners or beginning readers and is a very creative and factual source of what happens during the winter. This book is appealing in its visual literacy and I believe it would be a fantastic tool in helping young Deaf students to see the animals, the seasons, the changes that the earth and it's creatures go through and the words that correlate to each specificity. I would use this book in my field by assisting in fingerspelling the words and affiliating them with the pictures and text--it is such an important tool for young Deaf readers and I appreciate the beauty and simplicity of this book. I see definite benefits to young readers comprehending beginning literacy. A fun classroom project would be identifying your favorite animal and discussing what they do in the winter. Of course, it would be important to also discuss what happens in the winter and how you react to it--do you use more blankets? What holidays happen in the winter? Is it darker in the winter? Do you like winter and why? Understanding the seasons and your personal changes with them is great! less
