This book is recommended for students in Kindergarten or 1st grade. The plot of the story is simple but powerful. There is a very big bunny (hence the title) in an elementary classroom. She constantly feels left out and because of this she often stands by herself next to the playground fence during recess. A new student, a very small bunny, joins the class midway through the school year. This very small bunny takes a liking toward the big bunny. The big bunny is reluctant at first to hang out with the small bunny but as time continued they become the best-est of friends. In fact, they even decide to dress up the same for school pictures... they were the center of attention! This simple story line is great for the younger students. This book would be important to read during the first few weeks of class. It would allow children to realize that their classmates are all different and different doesn't necessarily mean 'bad'.
The illustrations within the book are cartoon like and often fill the page; the colors are very bright and quite detailed. In addition, the illustrations do a very nice job aiding the words of the story. A child who didn't know how to read, or couldn't read all the words in the book, would be able to have an understanding of the story-line by looking at the pictures.
