"Old Mother Rabbit lived in a shoe. She had twenty-six children and knew what to do." Following that introduction Mother Rabbit proceeds to put her children to bed in alphabetical order, beginning with "1 was named Able, he slept on the table" to "26 was named Zed, he slept on the shed." The children settle down in all manner of bedtime perches, from tree branches to tricycles to the kitchen sink -- one conks out on the garden gate. True to their youthful nature, some of the children are doing anything except sleep, scribbling on wallpaper, riding a hobby horse, and engaging in a rousing pillow fight. Miglio's detailed watercolor illustrations of the swarming brood give the story a homey Victorian setting while adding plenty of humor. Although the text is inventive and funny, it becomes predictable before the entire alphabet have been covered. A twist ending provides a final compensating laugh: As the mother settles into her comfortable feather bed, all 26 bunnies abandon their makeshift arrangements and pile in with her. --"Kirkus Reviews, " 1/30/98
