Bunny's Guide to Caring for Your Rabbit

by Anita Ganeri

Titles in the Pets' Guides series teach young readers how to care responsibly for their chosen pet. However, in a unique spin, each book is written from the point of view of one of the animals themselves, thus also allowing the books to be used to teach perspective. In this book, Bunny the Rabbit reveals how readers should go about choosing a pet rabbit, what supplies they will need, how to make a new rabbit feel at home, and how to properly care for a pet rabbit, including feeding, exercising, and keeping a rabbit hutch clean. Text in the book is accompanied by clear, labeled photographs to further reinforce key concepts.

A simple children's book about caring for pet bunnies. Miss 4 liked the cartoon bunny narrator.

Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Filled with photographs of adorable bunnies, this title offers a bunny's perspective on how rabbits should be treated when they become family pets. One of the things that most impressed me about this book is the author's acknowledgement that rabbits need to exercise as well as needing companionship. As is the case with the other titles in this Pets' Guides series, readers are reminded to get things ready for the rabbit before bringing it home.

Read this with my son. It was easy enough for him to read on his own and it had some useful information. Not a thorough guide by any means.
