The Magic Rabbit by Annette Le Blanc Cate

This story is about a friendship between Ray the magician and his best friend, a bunny assistant. The illustrations are extremely detailed, yet they have a cartoon aspect to them that complements the simple story about friendship perfectly. The illustrations are done in almost all charcoal pencil, and there is a very sparse use of color throughout the book. For example, the only colored objects in the entire book are yellow stars, otherwise the rest of the illustrations are done in black and white. The story itself is about when Bunny gets lots from Ray downtown in the city while they are performing their magic show together. The story is very simple and short, yet quite enjoyable. It would be perfect for younger readers such as second or third graders.
