Where's Bunny?

The opening lines—"Time for bed. Pick up toys and put them away. Where's Bunny?"—will connect readers to the doings of the small toddler and a slightly older sister, both with blushing brown skin, and so the hunt begins. Bath is next, as strong brown arms lower the small child into soapy water. The rituals are as soothing as the warm bath, as the children play with other toys, then are wrapped in soft robes, just as the bunny is restored to its rightful owner. The rhythm is soporific and restful as bedtime approaches. As board books go, this one better be water-resistant; the illustrations set the action right in front of viewers who will reach for the baby reaching up at them. Put this into use for nap times or to aid new parents in the midst of sleep training. VERDICT A loving path to sleepytime, and ideal for board book collections that see wide circulation.—Kimberly Olson Fakih, School Library Journal

"Told with sparse language, Where's Bunny? will appeal to the very young. Its soothing pace makes it an ideal bedtime book....The illustrations are simple, interesting, and cheerful...Refreshing, too, is the depiction of children of colour. Young children are sure to be soothed by the content, pace, and illustration of Where's Bunny?"  Highly Recommended.—CM Magazine
