One Brown Bunny: Marion Dane Bauer

One bunny searches the forest for a friend to play with. He finds two birds who fly away, turn the page, he finds three bears that leave in a bunch, turn the page, he finds four fish that disappear, turn the page — I think you get the picture. Finding friendship is the main purpose to this charmer of a book, but the numerical reference and lilting rhyme are what carry this story to its positively perfect ending. Will bunny find some friends? Of course! Marion Dane Bauer deserves great praise for her delightful way with words, as does Ivan Bates for the completely lovable illustrations that kids will be enchanted by.

One Brown Bunny is a wonderful read-aloud book. People who like Guess How Much I love You by Sam Mcbratney will truly enjoy this book, and vice versa.

Just in case you were hoping for something a little more, let’s say, Eastery, check out this cutie: Easter Bunny in Training by Maryann Cocca-leffler.
