We have been in love with Tao Nyeu’s illustration style since we first stocked the incredible, wordless, Wonder Bear.
We have just received her latest most gorgeous offering, a picture book, with words, called Bunny Days.
She has again used the most amazing colour combinations to create a spectacular picture book of not one but three stories. The bear from Wonder Bear features in all three very quirky and funny stories about his Bunny Days. Firstly as you see in the trailer Bear sends the muddy bunnies for a spin in the washing machine and then hangs them out to dry. Secondly Bear fixes Mrs. Goat’s bunny-clogged vacuum cleaner; and finally Bear uses a sewing machine to reattach the bunnies’ tails after an unfortunate garden-pruning accident.
The humour in this book is deliciously bizarre which is what many children will adore about it. The text is simple, with lots of great sound effects which makes it a really fun read aloud, perhaps not right for bedtime but more for those rollicking times on the couch or at a story time when you can whip them into a giggling frenzy. At the end of each chapter we are reminded that in this lovely world Nyeu has created “Everyone is happy”.
