The Magic Rabbit by: Annette LeBlanc Cate

This was a really interesting book. It was about a magician and his best friend/assistant bunny. They played a show and after an accident they became separated from each other. All the bunny wanted to do was to get home and finally he followed a trail that lead him back to his magician and it had a really nice ending. The illustrations and format of the book were very interesting and not something I have encountered much in reading children's literature. The book was in all black and white with shading except for the stars used by the magician, they were a bright yellow. The color scheme was nice too with the title on the cover being yellow and the pages on the inside front and back both being yellow. It had a nice touch, but I'm not convinced that a child would really enjoy the illustrations. The story was also a little sad and kind of slow, but I think it does show a good message about friendship and how important it can be to people.
