Synopses & Reviews
Bunny Rabbit has no fur. She has eaten applesauce, She has drunk chocolate milk. She has been thoroughly chewed. That's when Mama tells her son, Micah, that it's time to buy a new stuffed rabbit. But seeing all the new bunnies in the toy store does nothing to sway Micah into parting with Bunny Rabbit. He loves Bunny Rabbit just the way she is--worn, stained, and thoroughly chewed. Shulamith Oppenheim's lovingly told story is illustrated by Cyd Moore with warmth and affection. A treasure for any child who loves a very special stuffed animal.
Review
"Quietly compelling." --Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Moore's colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations playfully and tenderly accompany Oppenheim's text as it moves from joviality to disquieted attachment to strengthened affection. A winsome tale of love remaining love in spite of dirt and grime." --Publishers Weekly
