5.0 out of 5 stars Just a small rabbit in a big, big world., August 22, 2011

Squish Rabbit is a charming little story about a tiny rabbit, drawn only in black lines, who is feeling low because he's so small. He's so small that nobody listens to him, and sometimes he's hard to see "(Which is how he got his name)". The illustrations are fascinating in their combination of simplistic line drawings and mixed media collage. The result is a wonderful mix that really adds to the story and guarantees that kids will want to peruse these illustrations again and again. Squish is in search of a friend, and after his attempts to make a pretend friend and to play with some unruly trees don't quite work out, he is about to give up when friendship finds him. He soon begins to feel not quite so small, and the book ends on a delightfully sweet note. Every child can identify with the notion of being small in a world that's just too big, and they are bound to find comfort in the notion that friendship might make things not feel so overwhelming. This is a great choice for any child's personal collection and a wonderful choice for preschool story time.
