Books with title Once there was a rabbit

Milly is a three-humped camel that comes to visit a family one day and decides to stay for good. She has three humps and wears three sneakers and one high-heeled shoe. Milly makes herself at home, even though she should be in the desert. Milly the camel does many things that camels don't normally do. She speaks and reads picture books; she wears a bathrobe and naps with a teddy bear on the bottom bunk. She loves to eat toast and jelly--supplied, of course, by Mom. Milly even drives herself to the mall, but who knows what a camel goes shopping for? In this whimsical, silly story with bold, colorful illustrations, an unusual camel makes life interesting for one special family.

The book presents the primary colors and black and white in the form of colored dots. In a simple story form each primary color red, yellow, and blue combined with each other by becoming bigger and bigger until new colors, green, orange and purple, plus gray, are created. It teaches recognition of colors, their names, and combining of colors to create new ones. Good for budding artists 2 years of age to adults.

Imaginative illustrations by Kristi Bridgeman draw the reader into the colourful world of one extraordinary camel and his remarkable friends.

When a bullfrog sets out to find his lost hop in the Old West, nothing is what it appears to be. With the flip of a page, a toad becomes a toadstool, a dog becomes a doghouse, a cow becomes a cowboy and a stage becomes a stagecoach in this rollicking story that's a true page-turner in every sense of the word! Noteworthy for its clever design, this amusing tale illustrates how art and placement of text can affect a reader's perception of a story.
