I stumbled upon the picture book Hurry Hurry while poking along on Overdrive today, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to find that flipping through the book (i.e. "reading it on my browser") was easy enough for me to do without asking my brother Patches for help. (Although we're the same age, he's much more adept at whizzing through technological tasks than I am.)
Bunting's story is a delightful, almost wordless picture book, suitable for even the youngest kitten to read independently. My only complaint is that though Bunting was kind enough to include almost every animal in her story, her kindness does not extend to cats. In other words, you won't find any felines in her story. What you will find is a heartwarming, cheerful tale about barnyard animals running in response to a call from chicken to "hurry". Jeff Mack's illustrations speak for themselves, so I'll just post some of them to get a taste for the book. A wonderful surprise awaits readers at the end.
On a non-reading related note, this book's title brought to mind one of Peyton Manning's favorite phrases
I wonder if this is where Peyton got the idea from.
