  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 08/01/2013 PreS-Gr 1—Suki, a bossy gray and white rabbit, is used to being the leader when it comes to playing games with her brothers and sisters. She meets her match when cousin Mirabella visits for the summer. Suki's siblings, who are tired of her domineering ways, are anxious to play with the newcomer, who refreshingly asks what they would like to do instead of dictating the group's agenda. A fierce competition ensues as the two rivals attempt to outshine one another. When one of their antics culminates in their becoming tangled in a hedge, the two realize they must work together to get free of the thicket. The large, clear, and colorful illustrations, created with charcoal pencils and custom digital charcoal tools, will appeal to young children. A gentle lesson on cooperation and playing well with others.—Maryann H. Owen, Children's Literature Specialist, Mt.
