Summary
Two-time Caldecott Honor author/illustrator Lane Smith tells a whimsical story about a little rabbit searching for the best gift for someone very special.

A thoughtful little Rabbit sets out to find the perfect gift for his Nana. He knows she will love anything he brings her but Rabbit wants this gift to be extra special. As he travels on his quest, Rabbit encounters an assortment of creatures-a crow, a smiling full moon, a stickler (whatever that is), a big fish, and a volcano. Each is certain they offer the best advice but nothing they suggest seems right for his Nana. It's not until Rabbit reaches the highest peak, that he finds exactly what he's been searching for.

The award -winning illustrator of bestsellers including Penguin Problems and Giraffe Problems , brings originality and gentle humor to a story that parents and grandparents will be sharing with their children for years to come.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "It's not a special occasion, but Rabbit wants to give his grandmother a gift in this gentle tale perhaps inspired by the classic Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present. The love between the young rabbit and Nana is evident in the way he describes her smile and how she talks to him. Rabbit, meeting a crow who says the "perfect gift" is not far away, sets out to find it. During his journey, he receives gift suggestions from the moon, a whale, a stickler (a multi-eyed fantasy creature), and a volcano. The quest is harder than he imagined but worth it because the gift is for Nana. The vivid orange endpapers provide a clue when Rabbit climbs a tall peak to access the perfect--carrot! Mixed-media illustrations playfully capture Rabbit's perseverance. The visual perspective takes a wide view as Rabbit talks to large things like the moon and the volcano, then shifts to close-up when Rabbit delivers the gift, highlighting the two characters and the love they share."

Publisher's Weekly Review: "A rabbit quests to give his Nana a gift, even though it's not her birthday, nor even "a major hare holiday," in this wandering picture book. When a crow tells him that the perfect gift isn't far away, round-headed Rabbit sets off, encountering beings both familiar and less so. ("Does your Nana need a stick?" offers a many-eyed, goblin-like Stickler.) Conveyed in a leisurely pace punctuated by flashes of humor (a big fish in a lake offers some water, adding, "I have saved some in a cup"), the sequences allow Rabbit to reflect on Nana's special qualities, while orange and magenta splashes and crisp, varied typography enliven a quiet, earth-toned palette. Though Nana doesn't appear until the very end, the story's just as much about her as it is about Rabbit, and when he hands over his gift, the intimacy they share makes Rabbit's devotion easy to understand.Ages 4--8. (May)"
