School Library Journal Review

PreS-K-- Little Rabbit Foo Foo hops through the forest, picking up various creatures--field mice, wriggly worms, tigers, and goblins--and bopping them on the head with his red mallet. The Good Fairy warns him to stop, but finally turns him into a goon. This slightly retold version of a popular children's song has a lot of energy; unfortunately, Rosen includes neither music nor even a preface to let readers know that the tune is the same as ``Down by the Railroad.'' The illustrations are bright, cheerful, and clearly detailed, if somewhat reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. Amusing, but not an essential purchase--acting out the song is still more fun than reading it aloud. --JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review

A slight story based on the song about a naughty rabbit who scoops up forest creatures and bops them on the head. A good fairy repeatedly warns the rabbit about his behavior; eventually the fairy turns him into a goon. The moral: 'hare today; goon tomorrow.' From HORN BOOK 1990, (c) Copyright 2010.
