Bound To Stay Bound

School Library Journal - 11/01/2015 PreS—A mother rabbit leads her young out of a tree hollow to snack and play in a meadow. They avoid predators, hide in a borrowed burrow to wait out the rain, and head back out to graze. All is conveyed simply through single-word spreads. Flat, graphic-style illustrations are done primarily in greens and browns with splashes of spring colors in the flowers. The art is either full bleed or minimal, employing plenty of white space. An author's note offers background information about the cottontail. Without the life cycle focus of Hurley's Nest (2013) or the exuberant energy of Fetch (2014, both S. & S.), Hop is a quieter offering. VERDICT A good choice for asking leading questions and initiating discussions about animal behavior.—Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA - Copyright 2015 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
