To quote Joe E. Brown in Some Like it Hot--"Nobody's perfect." So it is for Amelia, a very big bunny who towers over her classmates. Tall kids will surely relate to this bunny that is too tall to jump rope with the others and has feet too big for hopscotch. Enter Susannah, a new bunny that is so small, she is also an outcast. Their friendship eventually helps them both over the hoops. The idea of the book is better than the resolution, but for kids who are troubled by their size this is a book that says there are others in the world who know how they feel. The art is bright and pleasing. Best of all, this is a storybook that can help to open a dialogue about dealing with this all too typical problem of being too tall, too small, too fat, too thin or too anything. 5 & up.
