I read this several thousand times growing up, and just re-read it as an adult for the first time. It's considerably less suspensful than I remembered it being. (Spoiler: The best place for a rabbit to live isn't a bird's nest or a frog's bog but in a rabbit hole).
A warren? Is that what you call rabbit den/holes? This book doesn't say. The art is by Garth Williams, who wrote and drew the anti-living-in-sin book "The Rabbit's Wedding," which I did not realize until just this weekend.

Simply put bunny is looking for his home. He asks the other animals where they live, always places unsuitable for a bunny. That is until he meets another bunny.
Williams' art is pleasant and MW Brown's story is sweet but I could not get into the rhythm of the text. The rhymes don't always match up and they're often missing when you expect one although children probably won't mind.

You just can't go wrong with a Margaret Wise Brown book. Garth Williams illustrations make it even better.
The excitement built as Pippa anticipated the results of a bunny asking various animals if he could join them in their homes, in the hope of finding his very own. I think Pippa was disappointed when he finally did...

I was surprised by how much the toddlers really liked this book when I read it to them in story time this week. Warning... the second or third page talks about how a bunny can't live under water because it will drown. Not that big of a deal, but some people care about that kind of stuff.
This book is more for younger age children. The bunny in the story goes around to all kinds of animals and ask if the place they live is his home. Finally at the end of the book the bunny finds a perfect home for himself.
Such a cute and cozy book. I LOVE the pictures (Garth Williams is one of my all time fav illustrators) and the simple text. Me and my son have a special rhythmic way of reading this that makes it almost like a song with a chorus that repeats here and there.
Fond memories of my mother reading this to me. I thought the ending was so beautiful. Also, my mom would always say "Home for a bunny" when we were done with our errands.
This book would great to read in the spring and discuss the characteristics of spring. It also a great book about looking for a home. Really cute, rhymes!
love this book. At this point my lo has not gone past shouting the name of the bunny and frog in the book. But she loves looking at the illustrations.
I absolutely adored this story and the illustrations as a young child. To this day I think I can still recite almost the entire book.
This was my favourite book when I was young and I even knew it off by heart. I still enjoy picking it up from time to time and have a read.
The pictures by Garth Williams are outstanding. Spring creatures include robins, a frog, a groundhog, and two bunnies.
Two little girls, two little snuggle bunnies... that's a four star book in my opinion.
Truly the first book I ever remember. I still own my childhood copy, the cover has been halway ripped off and the pages are dog eared but I will never part from it. I lvoe the end when Bunny finally finds a home of his own.
A read this story as a child. A cute, lovable, bunny searches for a home.
Margaret Wise Brown words + Garth Williams illustrations = Love
Sweet little story. Pleasant to read over (and over and over ...)
This was a shower gift for Sasha from Gloria Shewmaker.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK. Seriously. I <3 this author!
Great book AND perfect for emerging readers
this was my favorite book as a little girl
Fiction,Children's fiction
Such a sweet story
We read this one often. It's sweet and simple. Bunny looks for a home and asks the other animals around where their homes are. Eventually he lives in a hole under a rock with another bunny friend. The artwork is the best part, at the end of the book, the bunnies' home looks so cozy you want to crawl in with them.

This was a good level 2 book. Lots of repitition of words. But a cute story, and the illustrations by Garth Williams are fabulous. I like having Kiddo read what he considers "real" books, books I would read to Kutey--it gives him confidence.
This has been my favorite book since I was a child. Both my grandmother read it to me constantly, and it was one of the first books I read by myself (The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss was the first). The story is so sweet and cute.
I remember having a large copy of this book that I would leave at my Grandma's house to read. "Home for a Bunny, Home of his own." I need to get a copy for my daughter...
A short story that tells the story of a bunny that's trying to find a place to stay in a forrest with lots of different animals.

Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 60 years ago, her books still sell very well.
Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem....more
