[.ca] So Many Bunnies: A Bedtime ABC and Counting Book (ISBN 0688173640)

We love it!:
Humorous, easy rhymes and beautiful illustrations make this book an exceptional one for pre-school age through early readers. My son loves the rhymes and silly sleeping situations of the bunnies, and I never tire of the illustrations. We have read this book many, many times; first a copy from the library, and then our own edition. It would be a great addition to your own library, or a thoughtful and appreciatd gift for someone else.

Put This In Somebody's Easter Basket:
This is such a clever, well-illustrated picture book that teaches counting, ABCs and rhyming in a delightful,warm-hearted way. Using the familiar foundation of the old nursey rhyme about the old woman in the shoe, this story tells us about Old Mother Rabbit who has 26 children and knows just what to do. She gives them some carrots and broth and some bread and kisses them gently and puts them to bed. The bunnies all have special places to sleep and this book has a lot of charming stimulating pictures for little ones to explore as they're learning to count and say the ABCs. It's so cute and well done and little pre-schoolers are sure to enjoy it. Since most little ones like to have their stories read over and over, parents will welcome this book's detailed pictures and clever rhymes that make the book as fun to read aloud as it is to hear it read.

One that I'll keep with other treasures from baby-time:
This large size book captivates with detailed, gloriously colored illustrations and a story my children love. Mama Bunny puts each of her 26 children to bed, each baby bunny named with a successive letter of the alphabet and corresponding number "1 was named Abel, he slept on the table. 2 was named Blair, she slept on the chair". My children have memorized the book and can "read" it with me -- it has helped me teach them numbers beyond 10 as well. My kids giggle with delight when I incorporate their names in the book and make up silly rhymes to go with it. This book will definitely go in my keepsake chest among our most precious memories of these early years.

Educational and Fun!:
I love this book. I teach kindergarten in a public school and this book is a must read. The book reviews letters, numbers to 26, and rhyming words. Learning to identify words that rhyme are difficult for many kindergartners, but this book makes it easy, and fun. The flow of the language makes it natural for the kids to choral read with me. The pictures are wonderful,too. Definitely not too "cutesy" for the kindergarten set.

Delightful!:
This book was a gift for my 4 year old daughter. I had to read it every night for almost 2 months! Then she had it memorized and she "read" it to me. She loved "Kate" who slept on the gate and would go bunny-by-bunny and find them on the last pages. An excellent choice for a 3 or 4 year old.
