Customer Reviews

She loves it

This was given to me as a baby shower gift for my 5 month old, but my 2 year old has taken it as her own. Her favorite part is at the end when it says "Again!" So we read it again and again.

Still being read after 18 months

My three and a half year old is still reading this book every night in bed after more than 18 months. And we usually have to read it at least three times due to the last word of the book which is "Again!". The words are few and big so we have also been looking at the individual letters every now and then. The pictures, too, are simple and captivating - and beautifully drawn by someone with obvious talent. The magic part is, that the "bunny reads back" concept which Ms. Wells has had clearly in mind from the outset, really works with these books.

The itsy bitsy spider--again, and again!

This book is a great deal of fun to read with preschoolers. My 4-yr-old reads along each page while we sing the rhyme. Each page has just enough words on it, not too many to be overwhelming. The illustrations are classic, engaging Rosemary Wells. I also have a 2-yr-old who "reads" along too--thank goodness for it being a board book! We have many books by Ms. Wells in the house. It is nice that there is something for everyone, from the 8-yr-old to the 2-yr-old. Indeed, she encourages even the youngest Bunnies to read back with this book.
