Bunny Fun

by Sarah Weeks, Sam Williams (Illustrator)

This fun-loving bunny knows that with a willing cohort, a creative spirit, and a little bit of ingenuity, anything is possible--even on the gloomiest of days. And after the pillow fights and cooking projects and hide-and-seek games and drawing on the bathroom mirrors and zooming and zipping and jumping and running inside, there’s more fun to be had outside . Because when the rain stops, the mud puddles beckon. Splat!      The delightful bunny and mouse duo from Overboard! are back in a mischievous and messy romp that toddlers will adore.

Cute book. Bunny has fun inside while it rains, and then outside in the puddles, all with his mouse friend. Cute pictures. Nothing super special, but cute rhyming lines. Would work well for fairly little kids. Could use for spring or bunny or rain theme.

What an interesting preschoolers book. Who would advocate these things? Let's have a pillow fight and destroy feather pillows! Bunny Fun! Let's make confetti and paper dolls from Daddy's newspaper! Bunny Fun! Let's puddle and paint with Mama's makeup and nail-polish! Bunny Fun! Clearly this is unsupervised play.

Must read to babies! I loved this book, its fun, colorful and fun sounds and words. Toddlers will also enjoy learning new words.Bunny Fun is a great book to share with babies and toddlers, with rhyming and fun illustrations. Drip drop rainy day bunny cant go out to play!

Story Time

[Susan · Rating 2 out of 5]

0-7. I was not particularly impressed with this book. Colorful art. The rhyming story was not particularly inspiring. Bunny cannot go out to play because it is raining. Bunny finds different indoor activities to keep occupied. By the end I had already forgot that it was raining (because this dilemma was not emphsized in the beginning.) then bunny goes outside and plays in the mud.

Fun, rhyming text, but everything bunny does (inside on the rainy day) is destructive. She paints with mom's nail polish, cuts up dad's newspaper, has pillow fights that spray feathers everywhere. etc. While toddlers might love it (it's the perfect length and great for reading aloud) I doubt the moms would be too thrilled.

Fun book for babies and younger toddlers.

[Amy Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

A rhyming book about a bunny who has fun playing inside after he sees that it is rainy outside. Good toddler storytime book.

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute book about making the best of a rainy day. Fun illustrations, too. We've read this one a few times and the girls really enjoy it.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great read aloud book. On one page they write on the window/wall with lipstick and nailpolish! Great illustrations, though.

[Tina B · Rating 3 out of 5]

"rainy day activities, friendship, games, bunny and mouse play together on a rainy day, very simplistic and repetitious text, excellent for toddlers"

[Molly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read to the toddler time group. It was well received, but maybe a bit long for attention level today!

[Vicki · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short simple text, with a repetitive phrase which is the title. With a set up to the story, my tiny tot group understood the story a bit more.

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

This books has a really cute bunny in it...that is all you need to know...fun book! Great pictures...a bunny! I think I need to own this book!

[Naomi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is definitely targeted towards the younger reader (todder) to teach sounds. Pictures are colorful, but an overall boring book.

[Karen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Um... meh. The story was completely uninspired and uninspiring, and the text featured the phrased "rainy rain". My six-year-old was justifiably bored.

[Diane · Rating 3 out of 5]

On a rainy day, a bunny and mouse have fun inside.

[Leona · Rating 3 out of 5]

every kind of fun a bunny (or child) can have on a rainy day.

Very bright and engaging. Doesn't really seem to follow a sequence or a story - just bunny doing random stuff on a rainy day and then playing in the mud when the sun comes out. But it's a more fun bunny book than What Does Bunny See?
