Aunt Fanny's Star

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Feridun Oral. Because she's too old to live alone, rabbit Great Aunt Fanny moves in with her niece's family. This includes three bunny kids who adjust well to their cramped but lively new domestic situation. The illustrations of bunny family harmony recall the work of Clement Hurd, but the coming-to-terms-with-death story, while sensitive, lacks similar artistry: Weninger spells out everything that happens.
