This is a cute story about a bunny who goes to visit his Aunt Margo and his Uncle Ed. The bunny is not having a fun time at his visit because his cousins jump on top of him and he is served cold liver soup. The bunny is hiding from his cousins when he decides to take a trip to bunny planet. This is a great story for beginning readers. The print is large and the illustrations do a great job of describing what is going on in the story.
This is a story about a bunny who travels four hours all snug in the car to go visit his Aunt and Uncle. Besides the car ride, the bunny was very overwhelmed when he got to his aunt and uncle's house because he was jumped on by his cousins and he was served cold liver soup. The bunny eventually decides to go hide and take a trip to bunny planet to ease his mind. He needed a time to relax and get away. This book is a good book because it shows what good it does just to go somewhere quiet and dream. When the bunny went to bunny planet, he was very relaxed and happy. It is ok to use imagination because it can take you other places that maybe you cannot handle physically. The bunny made his day so much better by going to bunny planet. He show more got to do what he wanted. show less
I thought this was an interesting idea. Most kids could probably relate to the need to escape into their own imagination from a situation in which they feel uncomfortable, unhappy, unwelcome, or just bored.
