(2) K-3 Illustrated by T. L. McBeth. The designation of bunny Ogilvy's knee-length, turtleneck garment ("Is it a sweater or is it a dress?") apparently matters greatly, "for bunnies in dresses play ball and knit socks / and bunnies in sweaters make art and climb rocks." The arbitrary imaginary categories encourage readers to consider whether real-world ones make much sense. The modern fable's tone reflects silliness throughout, with jaunty (gender pronoun–free) rhyming text and spare, cartoony mixed-media illustrations with bold lines.
