About Doorknob The Rabbit And The Carnival Of Bugs
Product Description Doorknob the Rabbit knows what he likes: his cozy home, his rubber duck collection, and his pet flower, Sibbly. He does not like bugs. But, when thousands arrive on his doorstep late one night, Doorknob does his best to be a gracious host. Until things get out of hand. Waaay out of hand. Before long, Doorknobs neat and quiet home has become a rumpus room for a carnival of bugs! Can Doorknob get rid of his unwelcome six-legged guests? Readers play a crucial role in the resolution of the story.Debut by a talented author/illustrator.An endearing new character. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2–When Doorknob answers his door, he is invaded by 6000 bugs who want to take up residence in his nonexistent rumpus room. Dismayed by the messy insects that refuse to obey his "houseguest rules," the rabbit resolves to make them leave. He tries luring them out with music, but this only attracts giggling mice that also move in. Thinking that hungry felines will solve his problem, Doorknob e-mails catsinaminute.com. However, when the cats arrive, they are more interested in doing magic tricks than in eating mice, and the rabbit soon finds himself being pulled out of a hat. Finally, Doorknob comes up with an idea–have readers get into the act by closing the book. Everyone is squished, including Doorknob, and the bugs finally get the message and move on. The rabbit is left in peace, having learned never to open the door for strangers. Done in acrylic gouache, the brightly colored illustrations reflect the chaos described by the text. The pictures are very busy and often contain dialogue that emphasizes Doorknob's growing frustration. Children will enjoy the humor in the story and want to study the illustrations up close to see all the minute details.– Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
