Review:
Chloe is a sweet little
bunny who lives in a burrow at a museum in Brooklyn. She visits her cousins,
brothers and sisters in their nearby burrows once a month. When she goes to
visit, no bunnies are found. Chloe asks other animals if they’ve seen any of
her kind. Rat and the cardinals have not. Professor Pigeon stated that the
bunnies might be extinct like some of the other animals in the museum. When
Chloe visited raccoon he simply thought they left for greener grasses. While
eating some rose petals Chloe noticed the gardener speaking to her. The gardener
mentioned a mysterious plague. Is this what happened to Chloe’s family?
Author Zetta Elliott has
spun a delightful story about a lonely but very important rabbit. Parents and
teachers will be able to open up dialogue regarding the importance of zoos,
museums and extinction with young children. Readers will enjoy this thought
provoking story. The soft and somewhat dark illustrations, truly set the mood
for what the story is trying to convey, which is the grim reality of
extinction.
