Rabbit and Mouse are best friends, but Rabbit always seems to get into trouble. This book is full of humor and illustrations that help tell the story independently of the text. Readers will enjoy watching Rabbit get into crazy shenanigans. Cute.
For: readers who always seem to get themselves into trouble, even though they mean well; readers looking for a funny book.
Possible red flags: characters in peril.

A mostly wordless book about friends getting each other into and out of trouble. Simple and fun.

Rabbit just wants to help his friend, but seems to just keep making a bigger mess of things. Will he ever get it right?

Ha! A book 'about friends and toys and trouble'. That is definitely true. In this case I appreciated the artwork much more than the story (I still remember how my baby sister took a permanent marker to the face of my favorite doll. - There is still sorrow there...). Maybe I should have read this book when I was 8.

Silly story about how to get a toy plane out of a tree by piling animals on top of each other. With okay art. Not a bad story, just not too much to it. The story is not all that original and I wouldn't have expected it as a Caldecott winner.

Mouse tells a very simple story (not that it's lacking in action and drama) of his friendship with Rabbit. There are lessons to be learned from this story. Both mommy and three year old enjoyed it thoroughly.
PS. I first thought the book was a spin on the same characters as [b:Duck! Rabbit!|6124878|Duck! Rabbit!|Amy Krouse Rosenthal|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1356018230s/6124878.jpg|6303340] and almost put it back on the shelf without looking at it. Why? The white Rabbit, the blue cover, similar format. But there's no connection what so ever with that book.
Update: This definitely is a favorite. My son regularly asks to borrow "the book with the rabbit" again.
PPS. About the connection to Duck! Rabbit! Turns out it's not just me. [a:Amy Krouse Rosenthal|21674|Amy Krouse Rosenthal|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1220138789p2/21674.jpg], the author of Duck! Rabbit! actually acknowledges [a:Eric Rohmann|68537|Eric Rohmann|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1208539936p2/68537.jpg] on the inside of the cover. So, yes, her Rabbit is definitely a spin on My Friend Rabbit (but not the other way around), although the similarities are only visual.
