    Robert Bright

    language (Denio Press, Oct. 1, 2012)

From this point on the story hops, skips and jumps along in jingly rhyme to the point where the bunny aims for the moon. He makes it, but realizes that this was overly ambitious even for a hopping bunny, and returns to earth to be safely cuddled in his owner's arms. A likable small boy he is -- and so is his furry little companion."-Kirkus Review
  • Me and the Bears

    Robert Bright, Robert Bright

    language (Denio Press, Sept. 17, 2012)
    "Similar in tone to the delightful beardom of Ruth Krauss' Bears (Harper 1948) is this light-as-a-feather bit of fanciful gaiety which appeals to the teddy bear cuddlers. ""Best of all I like the little BEARS"", the small heroine tells the listener, as she describes the animals at the zoo, and what a wonderful evening it is when the little BEARS come to visit! Then there is play and noise until the mouse wakes up and the little girl and the little bears fall fast asleep. A charming just-before-bedtime fantasy with a gentle introduction to slumber."-Kirkus Review
