Customer Reviews

Perfect for an Only Child

This book is fantastic no matter what, but especially if you have an only child. It teaches a wonderful lesson about feeling good about being in the situation you are in. It is also a fun book to read...our son loves the different animals and their sounds and behaviors. We have read and re-read this one many, many times. We all love it!

Great Bedtime (or anytime) Tale!

This is a wonderfully charming tale about a bunny who can't seem to get to sleep, so he goes to friend's house to friend's house trying to accomplish this task. In the end, he finds out that the best place to sleep is in his very own bed. Wonderfully written!

Lot's of fun and apparently very memorable!

My little boy (aged 2 and half) loves this book. He has it memorized word for word and has kept reciting the lines for a couple of months now.

A lonely bunny finds peace with himself

This book is absolutely fantastic, and a must for families with a only child. The story illustrates how one can get mired in thinking that they need (unnecessary) companionship. For an only child, it teaches him or her that being in their own bed alone at night has the distinct advantage of peace and quiet. It is an absolutely lovely story with some very memorable lines. It is even a good message for adults who think 'companionship' is the answer over a good night's sleep.

A clever, funny and entertaining tale.

Little Bunny is an endearing character who is appealing to kids of many ages. His quest for a good night's sleep as he drags himself around from friend to friend is really cute. The illustrations of Bunny along with his adorable friends will win your child's heart.
