Hundred Feet Tall

There’s a lot of rhythm to the flow of the text, which makes sense when you get to the back and notice the words set to music. It tells the story of seed that is found on an outing and brought back to the big city and planted in a jar of earth. The bunny who found it cares for it and watches it until it’s too tall to for the jar it’s in, then he and his friends take it outside to plant it in the ground. The refrain that repeats throughout the book is that though it started small, one day it will stand at a hundred feet tall. The illustrations show another whole storyline and the passage of time, as we see the little bunny’s mom pregnant, and then bringing home a new baby bunny who eventually is taking its first steps.
