(1) PS Illustrated by Ora Eitan. From the bunnies' initial aspiration, to reach the stars, the musical text deftly captures a young child's sensibilities, depicting joys such as pockets, buttons to push, waving good-bye, and zipping and zooming through the sky, as well as such genuinely important tasks as collecting moondust for scientists. Eitan's art, including gouache and computer manipulation, perfectly reflects the gentle spirit of the adventure.
