Illustrated by
Barroux.
Charlie's toy bunny (named Bunny) narrates the lessons he learns from his owner ("Today Charlie has a playdate...I learn about jealous"). There's a forlornness to the text, as Charlie tends to run hot and cold in his affections. Barroux's use of one or two dominant colors per spread, supplemented with faintly detectable details, create visuals that deserve multiple viewings.
