So Many Bunnies Board Book: A Bedtime ABC and Counting Book

This is such a cute book! It's fabulous for toddlers who love bunnies. There are so many of them to find in this board book. It also has the ABC as well as counting up to 26. It's fun to read out loud as it is all written in rhyme in a manner similar to the poem about The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.

My first impression of this book was to rate it 3 stars (I'm not crazy about bunnies, in the first place), but my son really likes it, so I'm "upping" the rating. We've been reading it again and again. I have to say it attains what it sets out to do, which is to present all the letters of the alphabet and counting up to 26 in a fun, rhyming, rhythmic way. It's a story about a bunny living in a shoe with her 26 kids, each of whom has a name starting with a different letter of the alphabet. There's something funny on every page, as for each baby bunny you will want to see what they make its name rhyme with, i.e. the name rhymes with the spot where they sleep: "1 was named Abel. He slept on the table." And, some of the spots are really show more laughing-out-loud funny. Finally, there's a surprise ending the kids will enjoy. The whole page color pictures are cute.
Besides being a good bedtime story, this can be a great early reader book as well. The repetition will give speed to the child's reading and boost confidence, the bunny names are short and phonetically fairly easy to spell out and the rhyme then gives a useful clue for the unknown word in the following line. The humor in discovering all the crazy sleeping positions motivates the child to read on. My little one got a great kick out of this book, and I'll concede that it's very clever! show less

Well, it's just what the title says - an ABC AND counting book (up to 26, imagine that.) The pictures are wonderful and really are what make this book fun. My son loves to look at them again and again. He also loves to come across a name of a friend - names begin with each letter of the alphabet from Abel to Zed. Mama Bunny puts each bunny to bed in a place that rhymes with his/her name. Willow seems to be luckiest little bunny to me. But, like most little bunnies, they all end up in mama's room anyway - my son loves that part!

A delightful bedtime story book. Teaches the alphabet and counting, as the mother rabbit tucks in each of her 26 children in a different spot. Funny, and sweet. Great for toddlers to kindergarten.

22 months - ABCs, counting to 26! Not just 10, and rhyming. This is a simple and fun book. It only took a couple reads for you to give all the rhyming places the bunnies were sleeping. The illustrations are cute too!

Old Mother Rabbit's 26 children, each named for a letter of the alphabet, are lovingly put to bed.

Age Appropriateness: Primary
Genre: Fantasy and Informational
Media: Mixed Media
Review: This book counts and names off all of Mother Rabbit's children in alphabetical order. The characters in this story are animals that take on human characteristics, so it is an example of fantasy, but it also gives factual information by counting and going through the alphabet, so it is also informational.
