Summary
Summary
Rabbit go. Yippee! Rabbit stop . . . With some high-flying escapades, Jo Ham's international sensation hops into the pages of a picture-book series for the first time.
Are you in a superhero mood? Hold on tight as fun-loving Rabbit puts the "Yippee!" into a day of indoor and outdoor play. The creation of Jo Ham, whose art celebrates the magic of everyday life, Rabbit has been spotted everywhere from the Centre Pompidou in Paris to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and on mugs and nursery decorations in homes around the world. Now, with Yippee! Rabbit and its companion title Uh-Oh, Rabbit! , the iconic black-silhouetted bunny appears for the first time in a series of children's books--fun, playful, and irreverent stories in striking and stylish packages that beg for a place on children's bookshelves.

Kirkus Review
Ham's popular character Rabbit--whose image graces everything from mugs to greeting cards--is now the star of a new picture book. In the first sequence, Rabbit, seen in silhouette throughout, tries to fly a kite. A quick, "Rabbit go" accompanies a run up a hill, kite behind. "Yippee!" comes with a launch into the sky. Alas, "Rabbit stop" shows an outcome worthy of Charlie Brown: a tree tangling bunny and kite alike. Other sequences follow this pattern: attempt, fleeting success, denouement. Happily the pattern breaks when rabbit leaps off a chair into the stratosphere and never comes down again. "Rabbit, GO!" the text exclaims. Illustrated endpapers display a host of rabbits engaging in a wide range of activities, from seesawing to sliding. Using a limited palette and only the barest of bunny outlines, Ham still manages to imbue this lapin with a sense of personality and, most importantly, humor. This one is best for the youngest of readers; one hopes that after serving its time as a picture book, it will earn the right to appear in its most logical format: a board book. (This book was reviewed digitally.) More than just hoppy legs and sniffy little noses, this one is bound to win both hearts and minds.
