And snuggle tight,
And close your eyes,

A very cute and simple beginning book with one line or less on a page. This is about bunnies and foxes going to bed. It’s for the younger children.

The nephew will sometimes be in the mood for simple stories and he loved seeing all the bunnies and foxes. He thought they were cute. He gave this 4 stars.

Everybunny Dream! by Ellie Sandall. PICTURE BOOK. Margaret K McElderry Books (Simon), 2019. $18. 9781534440043

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K –ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Bunnies play all day and when its time to get ready for bed, they wash, put on pjs, brush their teeth, and snuggle up for bed. Then there is a big surprise! Artwork is big bright adorable bunnies and other critters (don’t want to ruin the surprise).

This is an adorable story with a cute surprise –which is just right for pre-k readers, not scary. It would work for a lesson on bed time routines. It would also make a great bedtime story. The illustrations are just incredibly snugly.

3 stars with a cute surprise ending

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very sweet book about a Mama Bunny putting her baby bunnies to bed when they suddenly discover one of the bunnies has pulled a trick on them with a friend. Sweet illustrations and simple, cute story.

[Molly Cluff (Library!) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everybunny Dance is still my very favorite of the series, but this one is cute, too! It makes more sense if you've read all the books in the series to understand that the fox and rabbit families are friends, but would probably stand great on it's own!

Told in rhyme, the bunnies are winding down for bedtime after a fun filled day. As they wash their faces, and brush their teeth, and get tucked in for the night, a surprise visitor is found in their hutch.

Bedtime reading with bunnies.

A cute story for a pajama or bed time storytime! big words and fun fonts encourage print awareness.

3.5*

[Syntha Green · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is cute and would be good for storytime, but I have reservations about a book that sends bunnies off to bed with foxes, one of their natural predators

[Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adorable!

[Alyssa Mandell · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very cute book about bunnies getting ready for bed. This would make a great bedtime storytime book.

Cute, but rather meh.

Fun, cute bedtime book.

[Brittany · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute story, but fox and bunnies sharing a den....not sure about that one.

[Maureen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I dislike kids books that mix animals that in real life one would be tearing the other to pieces.

[Alyssa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Should work for storytime

[Sarah Flood · Rating 4 out of 5]

So cute. And the rhyming is great for a storytime with the little ones.

Bookshelf Mentor Writing Traits (explain one or two content integration ideas):

Ideas – This book has a number of good ideas to get the reader hooked to the ending. It also shows what process the bunnies go through to get ready for bed. This is very similar to what I feel a child would go through when they are getting ready for bed. It can be a great starter book and allow parents or teachers to show proper end of the day routines. A writer, especially a young writer, could relate to this because it is a very simple concept. I would ask my students to write about a routine they do every day and then break down the details of that.

Recommended for Babies, Toddlers, or Preschool

Very cute bunnies go through the bedtime routine. But oh no! There's a fox! No worries--they invite the foxes in and everybunny goes to bed.

Could be used for Baby Storytime if you shortened it to just the bedtime routine pages, otherwise it is perfect for a Toddler and Preschool storytime.

[Abby Peskin · Rating 4 out of 5]

LOVED the illustrations in this book. It’s a very simple premise that goes through baby rabbits getting called in to get ready for bed, going through all the steps of their bedtime routine including getting PJs on, brushing their hair, etc. There’s a cute mixup at the end where a fox is dressed up in bunny PJs and vice versa, and they all snuggle up for bed in the end.

[MeganRuth - Alohamora Open a Book · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another cute "Everybunny" book. This one would be great for a bedtime storytime, or paired with Goodnight Mr. Panda. It's not too long, and has a fun surprise.

It's also a great one for parents that want to read about bedtime routines.

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another title in the "Everybunny" series. Sweet illustrations and simple text showing a bedtime routine make this one fun. I still go back and forth on whether the foxes as bunny friends is silly or cute, though.

[Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Third one in this series. Kind of cute but feel like the author has played out this everybunny theme enough. Everybunny Dance ( first one ) is still the best.

[Amy Chesman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This picture book series has sweet illustrations and easy rhymes. Fun for a read aloud.

[Miss Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A family of bunnies gets ready for bed but could one of the children not be there's? Cute ending. Toddler and up. Foxes also present

[Y.Poston]

such a sweet good night story

[Viviane Elbee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet rhyming bedtime book with the everybunny characters that young fans might remember from previous books.
