Lines which repeat themselves are not everyone’s favorite, I know, but I did enjoy it in this book. It enables us to better visualize the colors they’re discussing. The rabbit (who we like to believe is her imaginary friend, because otherwise he looks a bit creepy, ha) is helpful to the little girl and they decide on a good gift for her mother’s birthday. Simple and sweet!
