I was surprised, too, that My Friend Rabbit was chosen for the Caldecott Medal. We have had it in our library since last spring, and I liked the style of the illustrations but did not pay much attention to the book. Since the award was announced, I read it to two kindergarten classes and they loved it. They laughed, of course, and made many comments about the animals and Rabbit's troubles. It is much less complex than recent medal winners, but it is nice to have a variety of styles, each distinguished in its own way.
