Bunny and Bee are tree-dwelling 'toddlers' clad in baby-gro type outfits suitably adapted to character. The two go out to play, no matter what the weather, doing the things small children enjoy, splashing in puddles, a game of hide and seek, singing and dancing, then return home to sleep. Their activities are recounted in a short rhyming text printed in large, clear type intended for sharing with a young audience. However, its presentation also makes it suitable for young beginning reders. Gentle watercolour illustrations, given a soft focus through the use of pencil outlining and shading, portray the world in and around their home: a home filled with character co-ordinated items. All very cosy but do they never squabble?
