Although I was a little surprised that this book was named theCaldecott winner this year, the first time I read it to a class, Iunderstood why. Kindergartners and first graders absolutely LOVEit! They laughed out loud and covered their eyes as the animalstumbled to the ground. I enjoy it more every time I share it with agroup of students. It's first rate!
There are some books in the world that you can flip through inthe bookstore and get a pretty good idea of the plot andcharacters. Then there are books like "My Friend Rabbit". Roughly ayear ago I wanted to know what all the "My Friend Rabbit" fuss wasabout. I mean, this book was a 2003 Caldecott Award winner afterall. I wanted to see why. So I went to my local independentbookstore and flipped through it. I flipped and flipped and wasbaffled by the heaping helpfuls of praise it had received. Myhaphazard flipping didn't reveal anything particularly interestingor original in the story. Fast forward a year and I've finallytaken the time to sit down and read, "My Friend Rabbit" in itsentirety (a process which took me all of 93 seconds). Suddenly Iunderstood why it was so beloved. Though an incredibly simple plot,story, and set of characters, "My Friend Rabbit" is a remarkablybeautiful tale of two woodland creatures and their plane relatedmisadventures. It's simple in words and complex invisuals.
这本2001年凯迪克金牌奖获奖绘本，经过画家的修正升级，增加了小布什总统的介绍，将美国过往43任总统以各种各样有趣的角度介绍给读者。
当总统有好处有坏处，总统都叫什么名字，他们住过的房子、体型、身高、年龄、个性、外表、兄弟姐妹、血缘关系……林林种种，都是从普通人的角度来讲总统的趣事逸闻，读来亲切、幽默；对于历届总统直率、尖锐的评论，体现美国政治评论的自由环境。
故事收尾部分，讲述了几位最为杰出的总统的政治事迹，如托马斯•杰斐逊购买路易斯安那，极大地扩大美国的国土面积；富兰克林•罗斯福带领人民过上富裕幸福的生活；肯尼迪总统组建和平队，帮助世界各地的人……以乐观、自豪的语调，道出总统职位被赋予的崇高使命和责任。
