Ivan Bates.
This pleasantly rhymed counting book starts with one brown bunny searching for a friend. He invites increasing numbers of colorful animals to play, but they all decline, leaving poor Bunny alone. On the final page, however, everyone returns, and Bunny is delighted with his newfound pals. Expressive pastel-hued illustrations show Bunny's emotions as he goes from eager anticipation to gloom to joy.
