There once was a small bunny who loved his "blue blanket". He did everything with this "blue blanket": it went on the swing with him, rode in his wagon, he painted with it at his side and even had it near him in the sandbox. But a small bunny gets dirty and so does a "blue blanket", so when mom suggests washing the blanket, bunny doesn't like the idea. Mom said it would take (1) minute, but bunny watched and waited and it too (107) minutes to wash and dry. Bunny was not happy -- he missed his bl...more
Small Bunny is very attached to his blue blanket – they do everything together. When Small Bunny’s mom decides blue blanket needs a (gasp!) bath, Small Bunny is skeptical – he likes blue blanket the way it is. Anxious about blue blanket, Small Bunny watches the entire cleaning and drying process. Blue blanket is not the same afterward, but Small Bunny works hard to restore it to its former (assumed grimy) state. Simple, but elegant drawings of Small Bunny (a white rectangular blob with wonky ear...more

Small Bunny takes his blanket everywhere. All his daily activities, painting, reading, playing in the sandbox, are accomplished with blue blanket by his side. But his mother soon says that both Small Bunny and his blue blanket need washing. She reassures him that the blanket will be "as good as new." But Small Bunny doesn't want new, he wants his very well loved blanket. He watches the washing machine, ears and posture slowly drooping, through the 107 minutes it takes for it to be washed.

Simple little story about what happens when Small Bunny's best friend and favorite thing ever, blue blanket, has to be washed. Everything turns out just fine! This book would be excellent for any kid who has a favorite blanket or stuffed animal or whatever, and needs some reassurance that it will still be perfect when it comes out of the washer (or gets repaired or patched!).

Eh... kind of cute story and illustrations but it didn't really grab me. Mainly pencil drawings w/ a little blue for the blanket, kind of typical story about a child and his blankie (and how it's better dirty rather than washed).

I am definitely buying this book. I love the illustrations in the book and the bold blue letters. The blue blanket is Bunny's best friend; he takes it everywhere he goes and they do everything together. When mom needs to wash it Bunny doesn't want her to because he loves blanket the way it is. Once it is washed and dried Bunny dirties it up again by taking it everywhere and then it is just like it was before; roughed and dirtied up and perfect to him.:)
Small Bunny and his blue blanket are inseparable until mother says it's time both have a bath. The laundered blanket accompanies Bunny when swinging, painting, reading, and playing. And in no time it is again "perfect." Illustrations with sparse lines and blue color convey the earnest relationship between bunny and blanket. Reviewer 17
Bunny LOVES his blue blanket. When his blanket needs to be washed he worries that it will never be the same, but all it takes is a few new adventures to get blue blanket back in perfect condition. Illustrations are simple line drawings with slight highlights of color, mostly blue. Text is blue. This book would be a good read aloud.
This story reminded me of Knuffle Bunny b/c of the similar themes I guess and they both have bunnies. Bunny doesn't want to put his blanket in the wash but in it goes, initially it doesn't feel the same but after a while he gets used to it again.
Love the minimalist illustration style that only has blue and white.

Small Bunny LOVES his blue blanket. The idea of parting ways with his best buddy, even for a good washing, seems inconceivable. This is a wonderful book to share with any child who has a special blanket or stuffy that they never want to be without. Even if it really really really needs a bath :)
I may not have been a Linus, but I certainly loved my blanket. (It was yellow. With bunnies, actually.) So this story made me smile about Bunny's love for his blanket. And the whole washing part? Fabulous. Pictures are very simple, but I loved them. Especially when bunny was trying to hide under the bed. Must try in storytime. I think the kids could relate and have a laugh or two.
Normally just 3 stars. But the 107 minutes makes it 4.

This is such a fantastic little book. The simplicity of the line drawings, the openness of the white space and the boldness of the blue blanket makes for a visual treat. The narration is short and there are not any unnecessary words. Don't overlook this well-crafted picturebook!

for all those kids (and even adults who remember their blanket) - this one captures the emotion perfectly...I loved when the mother said it would only be 1 minute while the blanket washed and it was really 107 minutes - This would be a good read aloud too.
This is a sweet book about a favorite blanket. I'm almost as bad as Small Bunny when it comes to my blue quilt at home. (Except I don't actually drag my blue quilt with me everywhere I go, and I approve of laundering it on a regular basis.)
You're thinking: yet ANOTHER book about a cute, baby animal and a lost, favorite blanket? I'm drowning in these!
Nope. Look again.
Fresh, funny, honest and adorable. A simple package focusing on a simple pleasure. I'm a fan.

I had a security blanket for longer than I'd like to admit, so I can totally relate to Small Bunny's attachment to his blue blanket (especially the aspects of that attachment that border on obsession... haha). A very cute read-aloud.

Super CUTE! KYOOOOOOOT! The illustrations made me smile; I find them to be precious. The story is like a memory because I know the need for a perfect blanket and I also know the need for a clean blanket. I adore this book.
Cute, cute, cute! I want to pick small bunny up and give him a huge hug! The line drawings work well with the simple story and the interior shading and pattern within the blue blanket add just the right amount of texture.
this is a great picture book to do in a story time centered around that special toy or blanket kids have and would die if they had to part with it. My brother had a Fozzie Bear... this book makes me think of him :)
Small Bunny needs Blue Blanket for everything. Until Mom decides Blue Blanket and Small Bunny both need to be washed. Simple lines, few colors, expansive white space allow readers to occupy the story and emotions.
The best blankets always need to be washed, but will they be the same when they are clean?

Feeney does an impressive job of using minimal lines to communicate Small Bunny's agitation when Mommy puts the blanket in the washing machine. I mean, seriously, how dare she?
Anybody who has ever had a child with a special "blankey or stinky pillow" will love this book. I just loved the little cotton tails and the blow drying scene. Very cute book.
A simple tale about a small bunny who does not want to be separated from his blue blanket. The pictures are deceptively simple, yet amply show Bunny's reluctance to hand over the blanket for washing, and his subsequent separation anxiety. The line drawings are a little pale, I wonder how easy they will be to view in a group storytelling? This book would make a lovely early reader as long as the blue text is not a problem.
Familiar story elevated by charming line drawings with blue spot color. Best line: "'Don't worry,' she said, 'it will only take a minute.' / It actually took 107."
What could be sweeter than a small bunny and a soft blue blanket? Good for easing blanket separation anxiety. (Reminiscent of Linus, but without the angst.)
A lovely and simple little story about a sweet bunny and his beloved blanket. Charming illustrations and a storyline that most parents will appreciate.
