Bunny Love

This immediately became my daughter's favorite book. We read it everyday if not more than once a day. She love's it! Beautiful illustrations with a reassuring story for little ones.

Fast Comfort!

My daughter (3) and I love this book. We turn to it whenever our spirits need a lift. In fact, the other day she told her father that HE needed a trip to the Bunny Planet after he had reprimanded her. I am purchasing a set for my daughter's preschool library so that her schoolmates will also have the chance to go to the Bunny Planet and see "the day that should have been". Get the book and start a tradition.

Underrated poetry!

I agree with the positive reviews above. I just want to add a note on genre. At the start of each book, when everything is going wrong for a young bunny, the story is in regular prose. For the second half of each book, when the bunny is transported to a land of peace and perfection, Wells converts to beautiful rhymed verse. While the content of the books might be best for 4-8 year olds, the poetry is so nice that any adult would find it a good read. The transition poem in the middle of each book uses a weak rhyme with "Janet," but beyond that, the latter halves of these three books belong in the children's lit Hall of Fame!

These books grew on me...

I thought these were strange at first, but after more readings I love them. Some days it is fun to think that we can take a trip to the Bunny Planet! Their small size is fun for kids too. Even my 6 1/2 year old likes them -- in fact, they are best for kids 3 and up, I think.

Such sweet stories!

I ordered this set of books for my girls, ages 4 and 5, last month. We had checked them out of our local library many times, so I knew they would like them. They absolutely love them! My 5 year old knows the words to "First Tomato" by heart, and I just love watching her "read" it. At first I was a little disappointed by the size, but actually the girls like them sized down so they can hold them better. The stories are absolutely beautiful, and they're the only books in poem form that my kids really enjoy. I think these stories teach kids that even when you're having a bad day where everything goes wrong, you can get through it by imagining yourself at a better place and time--a lesson that's good for adults as well!

In each book of this beloved trio of mini-picture books-First Tomato, Moss Pillows, and Island Light-a little rabbit who has had a particularly bad day is transported to the Bunny Planet. There, the bunnies experience the day that should have been-a day filled with warmth, love, and peaceful activities. The three winsome books are brought together in a sturdy boxed slipcase.
