Well, spring has finally sprung around here! It has been rainy all week (in anticipation of April, I suppose), and our perennials have broken ground in our garden. We also have a bunny! I mean, (s)he lives outside, and only visits when our pup Lexi doesn't scare him off, but he's a regular and we love watching him hop around.
Mila is currently fascinated by all animals. Her eyes light up, and she flips her little hand as if to say, "what is that?" whenever she spots a squirrel, another dog, or of course, our backyard bunny. It's so neat to watch her world expand and her curious mind evolve. And so naturally, I've taken out some non-fiction animal books for her to explore; she loves looking at the photographs, and seems to be listening so intently to what we say about them.
We've also traded in our love-themed books (Valentine's Day seemed to linger a bit in our house, haha), for our collection of spring/Easter/bunny books. Here is a list of the books we've currently got in our rotation:
1. Bunny My Honey - Anita Jeram
2. I am a Bunny - Richard Scarry (possibly Mila's current favourite!)
3. Bunny Roo, I Love You - Melissa Marr
4. Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit, A Book of Changing Seasons - Il Sung Na
5. Peep and Ducky - David Martin
6. Here Comes the Easter Cat - Deborah Underwood
7. The Bunnies are not in their Beds - Marisabina Russo
8. Big Bad Bun - Jeanne Willis (that leather jacket though!)
9. Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar - Emily MacKenzie
10. If I Were a Rabbit - Jellycat
11. The Red Lemon - Bob Staake (not reeeeeally a spring/Easter/bunny book but we're really into Bob Staake's books and this one is a current fav!)
What's your favourite bunny or spring-themed book?
