5 star review from Amazon.com
"The basic set up for this one is a rabbit named Burdock is having a picnic out in some rural field somewhere with his parents ..... I really liked the illustrations in this picture book they are colourful and really well drawn ..... the images are large and combined with the text take up the whole page ..... Although only a simple story, it still works. Clever Rabbit is well worth buying."
