Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–Sweet, signature watercolors highlight three poems told from a small bunny's point of view. Carry Me! Talk to Me! and Sing to Me! express the animal's desires: to be held close by a loving parent, read to, sung to, and told stories. Each picture, mainly in soft pastel hues, exemplifies a moment of shared happiness between child and parents. The paintings, generally one to a page, are on a background of white and are framed with a simple blue line. The book speaks for all young children who yearn to be included in their parents' lives. The lucky bunny in this book is well loved by patient, caring adults and appears to be the center of their world.–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI

From Booklist
*Starred Review* PreS. Many will remember when Wells advised adults to "read to your bunny." Now, she makes carrying, singing, and talking to children irresistible. The cover shows a mother and father rabbit in their nightclothes, dancing with their little child under the light of the moon. That sets the stage for the inviting scenarios that follow. The baby rabbit is the speaker who insists: "Carry Me!" Oh, how this baby loves to be carried--up and down the stairs, while his mother is getting dressed for town, into the garden, "under the plum tree's shadow." When the parents finally fall asleep, the baby is wide-awake. "Talk to Me!" shows an eager bunny ready to talk and learn. Everything is of interest: "Open the window to hear the train / Close the window against the rain." "Sing to Me!" is rollicking; the rhythm is in the words as the bunnies welcome winter and later spring, summer, and autumn with music. Wells' artwork can best be described as joyous--and hopeful. There's dancing, smiling, skipping, but there is also baby bunny's expectation that its needs will be met--and they are. One wishes the same for all children. Ilene Cooper

charming as a penny, May 28 2006
By julia fc - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carry Me! (Hardcover)
Wells' illustrations never fail to make me smile, but the little rhymes and whimsy of the three "chapters" in this book (Carry me, Talk to me, Sing to me) were an instant hit when we brought it home from the library. It's become a favorite and we had to buy our own. Even though the book publisher feels this is appropriate for 1 to 4 years old, it's a good early reader too.

A very sweet book for someone with a little intelligence, Sep 3 2009
By Diane P. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carry Me! (Hardcover)
This is a very sweet book and touching to a Mom who does spend time with her child. This was the first Rosemary Wells book that I read to my two year-old. After borrowing it from the library, I made sure to add my own copy to our library. My son is now 4 and still enjoys this book.This is a book for someone with a little intelligence who understands the meaning behind the rhymes. Personally, I like a book that does not underestimate children like the majority of "popular" children's books available with matchy-match words and pictures. It's a thoughtful book that captures one's imagination and touches on the the sense that, while childhood is fleeting, you can hold it in your heart by making memories spending time carrying, talking and singing with your child.

Carry Me! Talk to Me! Sing to Me!, Dec 17 2006
By George Buttner "Agent0042" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carry Me! (Hardcover)
"Carry Me!" is another cute Rosemary Wells book featuring three sweet, simple songs. Each one is pleasing and comforting and will easily be enjoyed by fans of this author and her books.The first one, as you might guess, is "Carry Me!" 'Hold me when you get dressed for town ... Carry me over to hear the bees.' The song works nicely and has lots of fun actions to go along with it.
Next is "Talk to Me!" 'Open the window to hear the train / Close the window against the rain.' This is a very action-oriented rhyme.
Finally, "Sing to Me!" brings it all full-circle. 'Sing me a summer song / I'll dance you right along' and so on.
The gentle illustrations of rabbits are once more a winner. "Carry Me!" is another Rosemary Wells story to treasure.
