Synopsis
A very special new story for the very young—by the illustrator of the bestselling GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
How Bunny loves his mommy! And Mommy adores her little one. "Bunny, my Honey," she says, showing him how to do special rabbity things, like running and hopping, digging, and twitching his nose, and thumping his great big feet. Bunny's best friends are Little Duckling and Miss Mouse. They play quack-quacky games, squeaky games, and thump-thump-thumpy games together. But one day Bunny runs too far on his own and gets lost in the deep woods. The more Bunny looks for his friends and his mommy, the more lost he becomes. Bunny cries, "I want my Mommy!" until, at last, she arrives to cuddle and kiss him and put her twitchy nose on his twitchy nose. A sweetly reassuring story by the illustrator of the award-winning GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
Children's Literature
The illustrator of the best-selling book, Guess How Much I Love You, Jeram seems to create the most appealing animal characters. The mommy rabbit in this story has a baby who looks just like her, only smaller. Mommy Bunny calls her baby Bunny, my honey. Bunny makes friends easily and becomes bosom buddies with a little duckling and a mouse. They play games and sing songs, and usually stay out of trouble. But alas, one day Bunny wanders off and gets lost. He is alone, scared, and crying in the big woods. Soon Mommy Bunny finds her baby and comforts him and he returns to his world of love and security. The predictable story and repetitive text make this a must read for toddlers and preschoolers (and mommies!). All will identify with the love felt between the mommy and baby bunny, and the happy ending will make you cheer every time. Now available in a board book format just right for those sweet little hands. Reviewer: Susan Hoyle Fournier
