'Tick-tock, it's 8 o'clock. Wake up, Little Rabbits! It's time for breakfast. Rise and shine!' White Rabbit, Brown Rabbit, and Black and White Rabbit can't waste any time this morning. Their good friend Gray Rabbit is coming to visit and there's plenty to do! Will the Little Rabbits have time to clean the house, do the shopping, and make a special surprise dinner all before Gray Rabbit arrives? Young children will enjoy moving the hands on the clock on every colorful spread as they learn to associate the time of day with each of the Little Rabbits' activities. The Little Rabbits' busy schedule - getting up, having breakfast, and going shopping - is reassuringly familiar to young children and gently introduces the concept of time into their world. Alan Baker's lively art includes dozens of brightly colored everyday objects for children to point to and talk about with their parents. On each spread, clear instructions explain how to move the clock hands to match the time shown on both traditional and digital clock faces, while simple questions help parents reinforce newly learned skills, and build confidence in every child.

This illustrated picture book reveals a different desert animal on each spread who is being "watched" by another. A whole menagerie is revealed at the end of the book showing all the creatures in their distinctive habitat, including: scorpion, kangaroo rat, roadrunner, woodpecker, gila monster, iguana, puma, spadefoot toad, kit fox and locust. The book also features an informative map and picture index to facilitate learning on animals and their habitats. The "Look Who Lives In" series presents a picture book format aiming to develop children's reading skills whilst teaching them about animals and their different environments.
