Bunny Rabbit Rebus

With a unique twist on reading, Bunny Rabbit Rebus by David A. Adler tells the story of Baby Rabbit and Mother Rabbit and their quest to find food while helping all their friends.  According to Wikipedia, a rebus is an "allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words."  Like in Bunny Rabbit Rebus, you may find a picture of a star in front of the letters TED to mean "started," or AL followed by a red E to mean "already."
