Bunny Mail by Rosemary Wells6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The cartoon-like illustrations reinforce the feeling of loving closeness that shared reading can create. ![]() ![]() To reinforce the idea that the 20 minutes of reading to a child can (and should) occur anywhere, the adult rabbits can be found reading to their children in both expected settings, such as curled up in bed and on chairs, but also while flying a plane, having a bath, lounging on the beach, and ice skating. Eight pairs of facing pages present a different adult rabbit (of indeterminate gender and changing hue) reading to a toddler bunny. While the book's picture book format and small size suggest it is "for" infants and toddlers, the title's imperative to "read to YOUR Bunny" confirms that the intended audience really consists of parents, especially the "unconverted" who have not yet recognized the value of reading regularly to their children. Reading together twenty minutes a day is the most important gift you can give your child. ![]() Parents of infants and toddlers up to 2 years of age.
