Customer Reviews

My children love Emma Bean

This is a wonderfully sweet book about a girl and her stuffed rabbit. My children can relate to their adventures despite their age difference (3-7). There is a special emphasis on the beauty and love put into the handmade rabbit.

Perfect book for my daughter, & her own "Mr. Bunny!"

My 3-year old, Sadie, LOVES this book! I stumbled upon it during one of our library outings-- the illustration of the rabbit looks SO much like the "Mr. Bunny" that she sleeps with that after renting it I had to go online to buy it! Such a great story.

It's A Keeper!

This is a beautiful book - one with a story that tugs at your heartstrings, but not in an overtly sentimental way. The illustrations are a perfect complement to the words. The language is simple and the story is not too wordy - great for little ones, preschool-aged and under. I started calling my baby girl "Emma Bean" as a nickname (her name is Emma) because of this book. I showed it to her daycare provider who then made Emma her own Emma Bean based on the book. Both the doll and the book will be treasured keepsakes.

This book is delightful for parent and child.

My daughter adores this book. She wants to make a rabbit just like Emma Bean. One read makes it an all time favorite.
