Each leaf of this beautifully created board book reveals a different animal -- an earthworm, a black bear, a lazy dog, a hooty owl -- each shown in a unique form of light -- dawn light, winter light, fire light, starlight. This simple structure plays to Kate Endle's signature cut-paper collage creations.
Caspar Babypants offers two free MP3 downloads of songs based on the text of "Bunny Rabbit in the Sunlight;" one for daytime, one for bedtime.

Reviews

"Eye-catching collages depict gentle animals whose habitats are brightened by different light sources: 'Rooster wakes in the dawn light./ Black bear sleeping in the winter light.' A raccoon snacks on a piece of fruit by a campfire, while a whale sprays 'in the fog light' and a cat curls up 'in the bedside light.' Endle varies her compositions with warm and cool colors; visual textures suggest smoothness of glass and the roughness of gravel. When it's time to turn off the lights, readers will likely request a rereading. A recording by Babypants (aka Chris Ballew, lead singer for the Presidents of the United States of America) is available for download."
