PreS?After staying too long at his friend Scamp's house, Hopper the bunny tries to take a shortcut home by swimming across a stream. When he gets into trouble in the water, Scamp tells him to hang onto a branch and goes for help. Hopper drifts downstream to a beaver's dam, where he makes a new friend and learns a lesson as well: water is dangerous when you don't know how to swim. Illustrated in lovely pastel watercolors somewhat in the style of Garth Williams's work, this is a simple story that gently preaches water safety while entertaining readers. Pfister has written other ``Hopper'' books, and no doubt the youngest audiences will welcome another. Slight, but pretty, and with a worthwhile message.?Judy Constantinides, East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA (c) Copyright 2010.

Fiction: PB Hopper, an arctic hare, visits a friend and gets into trouble when he attempts to take a shortcut home. Hopper's distress is pleasantly assuaged, but the story is slight. The illustrations, in muted blues and greens, have a stronger appeal than the text. Horn Rating: Recommended, with minor flaws. Reviewed by: sl (c) Copyright 2010.
