Home for a Bunny

This was one of my favorite books as a child, and I was delighted to find it again as an adult, and read it to my child. A bunny bounds through the early spring, and, in his search for a home, talks with several other animals. It's beautiful simplicity explains why it is an enduring classic. It will always have a place on the shelves of our family library.

Absolutely beautifully illustrated, I totally adored it, as did the kids. Short, easy words with repetitive sounds and rhymes made it really easy for them to read along as I read it to them.

Brown's text, read aloud, does go 'loppity loppity lop' just like a rabbit moving along.  And only Williams could make newborn robins cute.  Too bad that modern children and their grown-ups probably think books like this saccharine.  *I* think it's just sweet.

A little bunny is searching for a home and meets several animals who don't quite fit his needs. The illustrations in this book are just breathtaking and I've always wanted to frame some, but don't want to tear the book! This book can be used to teach about what happens in spring and about natural habitats of various animals.

In my opinion, this was a great informational story that contained many animal characters and the plot is easy to follow. Several of the animal characters bunny comes across, inform the bunny that their holes or nests are not what bunny needs for shelter. They are believable and hold true to their eating habits and habitats. The plot takes bunny to various animals shelters. There is no true logically order in the story, however, the plot does contain a beginning, middle and end. The overall message of this story is to inform readers about various animals but focuses on bunny finding the right shelter.

A timeless story of a bunny looking for his home as he talks to the animals he meets along the way.

Boys' favorite as children. A simple story with a lilting rhythm, and occasional rhymes.
Charming.
