adorable, gorgeous lil book about a bunny who just wants time to herself to read her book. (it's a space book. about space and bunnies).

LOVED this one and think it could start discussions between you and little ones about personal space. beautiful illustrations. ( )

A little rabbit must find the right balance between having some space of his own and interacting with his friends and loved ones in this sweet picture-book from British author/artist team Pippa Goodhart and Rebecca Crane. Initially taping off a spot of his own, and policing its borders vigilantly, the young leporine bookworm eventually finds himself a little lonely. Can he regain the companionship he has lost...?

I liked the idea, implicit in the story here, that finding balance is an important thing, and that even quiet book-lovers sometimes need people around. As someone who requires quite a bit of "alone time" to read and ponder, I identified with the rabbit's desire for a quiet spot of his own, but acknowledge that socialization is also vital. The artwork in My Very Own Space is colorful and very cute - I really liked Rebecca Crane's use of color and shape - reinforcing my impression that the publisher, Flying Eye Books, seems to produce visually striking picture-books. Recommended to anyone looking for children's stories about needing space, and needing companionship as well. ( )
