This is such an adorable book. Like many of us Sunny the Bunny was also afraid of trying new things. She felt queasy when her mom signed her up for the summer camp. At the camp, first, she missed her parents but later on, she enjoyed every bit of it and made new friends. There were little messages for children like one should wear a life vest when sailing and seat belt while riding in the car for safety. The colourful illustrations made the book even more adorable. This book would be a perfect s ...more

Sunny the Bunny: Goes to Camp by Jace Higgins and Paige Bekish is a sweet, little children's book!

The illustrations are absoultely adorable! The cover, the pictures, ugh! All of it is just so sweet and cartoon-y! I love one of the first pages with little ballerina bunnies! It's so adorable!

Onto the story itself:

Sunny is a cute bunny who likes to read and bake. Her Mom signed her up for summer camp, which she isn't too happy about. When she gets there, even though it's super exciting she still w

Thank you Greenleaf Book Group & NetGalley for the a chance to review this book.

Sunny the Bunny is absolutely adorable. It’s about a bunny who goes to camp. They have hesitations and worries, and ends up enjoying trying the new things at camp. The Yoga class was probably my favorite illustration.

I liked the rhyme scheme and the illustrations a lot. It was a very cute book.

This book is so cute and adorable. It is about a bunny who is afraid to try new things, and then goes to a camp, make new friends and have a lot of fun. I loved that it was written in poem. I think children will really enjoy this book! And hopefully this book will teach them that we should not be afraid to try new things in life.

This children’s book is very sweet! My 4 young boys loved it! The 7 year old even read it to the 5 year old. I think kids can really relate to Sunny the Bunny and how the bunny feels about going to camp. The feelings the bunny experiences are similar to what some kids feel when they try something new, and the fact that Sunny the Bunny ends up enjoying new things at camp, teaches kids a good lesson. The illustrations in this book are beautiful and so vibrant. I love all the colors used and how th ...more

Sunny the Bunny: Goes to Camp is a sweet picture book about a nervous little bunny who goes away for her first week of sleep-away camp. Before she goes she is all anxious and makes herself queasy. But, once she arrives at camp she starts to have fun.

This is a good story about overcoming your fears and trying new things. Plus the illustrations are adorable! My son like seeing all the different animals that were also at the camp.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for providing me a free copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

This book is so cute and heart-warming. Sunny the Bunny is afraid of new things and doesn't want to go to camp.
I had a bunny once. His name was Cesare and he was so shy.. I imagine Sunny just like him, shy and insecure and afraid of new things.
I'm sure little readers will love this book! And they will learn to be fearless because everything new hide fun and adventure.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of the book in exchange for a honest review. It is a forced rhyme tale of Sunny the Bunny's first experience at sleep away camp. It might be useful for reading to younger kids who are feeling apprehensive about going away to camp. My digital galley only had a cover illustration. The illustrations are flat and amateurish. I am assuming that the finished book will be fully illustrated. The author is a teenager. It seems to be her first book. Al ...more

DELIGHTFUL! And a PERFECT book for going to camp, sleepaway camp or day camp, even a new childcare daycare place!

This is a wonderful story about a bunny going away to camp facing fear of leaving home for an overnight stay away from mom and dad for the first time. The text is told in charming rhyme, and it would be so incredibly easy to make a song of it and continue the fun for the child! It could also be a rap, haha!

I didn't expect to be so entertained by this book. I had a child that clung to

Sunny the Bunny is a sweet story about a bunny that goes to camp. It gently talks about fears of trying new things and becoming independent from parents at sleep away camp. This book would be a great introduction for any child headed to camp for the first time!

Omg this is a cute story of Sunny the Bunny who goes to camp with the other animals. My kids & I enjoyed this so much. We love the bright colors and the rhyming words. In a way it’s preparing me for when the day comes, my kids will be off to camp. Thanks to Greenleaf Book Group Press and NetGalley for an ebook ARC. This is my honest review.

This is a good little read, with nice illustrations. It is written well and is definitely a book that lots of little ones will adore and want to return to, time and again. The rhymes are wonderful and flow nicely, really giving the book a good feel. It also has a great lesson about exploring and getting away from home, to a safe place, being a great adventure.

Sunny Bunny was scared to try something new but when she went to camp, she got to try lots of new things and learned that can be fun to do new things. There were a few places that the text didn't flow so I wonder if the ebook got out of order. Overall cute story and illustrations..
Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion.

Sunny is sent off to camp but feels very nervous about it at first. Along the way Sunny realizes how much fun camp can be.

This is a great book for children who are going off to camp for the first time or is having some anxieties about new experiences. It's a great resource for learning rhyming words or poems as well.

There are some children who are always timid, fearful , nervous and anxious when they meet and greet new people especially previously unmet family members, friends of their parents, first day at school, etc. Then then there are another set of children who are exactly the opposite. With time, the children's attitude towards new people and situations changes. Most of them adapt and mature.

New Things Can Be Fun

This is a sweet story of a little bunny who is afraid to try unfamiliar things and is particularly scared to be going away to summer camp. But the little bunny goes anyway, and of course, has a marvelous time. The book details the various activities at the camp and highlights Sunny and her new friends, like the lion and panda. The illustrations are relatively simple with little detail. The only one that was really hard for me to see was Sunny's father. The illustrator made t

Sunny the Bunny leaves for camp and she is very sad as she will miss her parents and all that she knows. What she finds out that there is so much to learn and do. She discovers new things to do like zip lining, swimming with friends, winning a talent contest. She has so much fun that she is sad to leave on her last day.

If you have high hopes for your child to do camp in the near future, this is a great resource to talk about camp. I was a camp leader for 6th graders and even they miss their pare

This book was so cute and inspiring to see creatively expressing a common fear, going to summer camp for the first time and the fear of fitting in and making friends. Sunny however was scared at first but until she arrived and stepped off the bus and heard the cheers from the other campers and counselors that broke the ice and she stil

Thank you NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group for gifting me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book will definitely help kids to understand that new things can be fun and enjoyable and that they shouldn’t be afraid to try them. The story is cute, but doesn’t flow as well as I would like it too, as some of the rhymes trip me up when I’m reading. I’d probably recommend this for 4-5 year olds as some of the words are bigger (like queasy and rappel) and it is a bit on the lon

There will be all kinds of new adventures, new people she does not know - what will she do? Well, she makes some new friends, she tries several new things and when camp is over, she's not ready to go home, and already making plans to do it again next year. This would be a great book to read to young children who are reluctant to try new things. Written and il ...more

"Sunny the Bunny: Goes to Camp" by Jace Higgins and Paige Bekish is a delightful children's' book with beautiful illustrations starting with the book's front cover. Sunny is a bit anxious about her first time at a sleepaway camp. Clara, my 5yr old granddaughter, oohed and awed as she opened the front cover and discovered the ballet bunnies pages.
How do I know Sunny the Bunny is a great book? Clara wanted to reread Sunny immediately after the first read. I recommend Sunny for parents, grandparent
