My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
Suki The Very Loud Bunny by Carmela and Steven D’Amico is a tale about a rabbit that lives outside the box. Suki is loud and full of adventure. She wakes up early each morning and greets the world around her with ear-splitting cries of “Good Morning”. She wants to look beyond her home to visit the wide world. When she does, she gets lost and has to use her loud voice to call for her mother.
Suki learns lessons as she explores the world that changes her life, but not her personality.
Little Bunny in Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night finds he wants to explore the world beyond his own too. He is lonely sleeping in his house all by himself. Little Bunny decides sleeping at a friend’s house would be better. He tries owl’s house. Owl stays awake reading at night. He tries skunk’s house. Skunk forgets he is there and sprays him when he gets scared at night. Each of his friend’s houses isn’t right for him. Finally, he realizes that home is where he needs to be after all.
What did we do?
Building Structures and Roads with Cardboard
JDaniel asked me to cut cardboard rectangles out from some cardboard for a project. He hadn’t decided on the project, but he wanted to do one.
I showed him how to build a lean-to with the rectangles and he had fun building one for his bunny.
We later used the rectangles to create a cardboard road for his bunny to practice doing the Bunny Hop down on his way home.
We had a great time with the cardboard. It will be fun to take it out later and see what JDaniel will create with it.
What bunny books have you read to your children?

Pierce always likes to make roads out of things too.
Thanks so much for hosting !
What a great entrance into the world of architecture…
Amazing how the simplest things can be the greatest toys. Interesting books – illustrations in the first one look very engaging!
That’s certainly a way to think out of the box! We read Suki earlier in the month. The illustrations are cute.
My son loves the book Rabbit Food. Your bunny books sound so cute 🙂
Simple ideas, but they lend themselves to great imaginative play. You rock!
The Runnaway Bunny! he loved it when he was a baby and toddler. I think I read it 1,000 times!
This is so cute! Bunnies are perennial favorite in our house. The neighborhood is overrun with live ones–we always look for them.
I have to wait for a little while until I can read bunny books or others to my little grandson, lol ! For the moment I can read even a washing machine instruction to make him fall asleep !
Found you through Mom Loop. I accidentally put my avatar on your contest, please ignore my entry.
Great blog — glad you found me and thanks for visiting! I am now a follower!
Kids can be so creative! I love when they use their imagination! 🙂
How cute! I love your activities.
Thanks for dropping over. I love this linky and can’t wait to join.
This looks so fun! My son learned the story about Jesus on the road to Emmaus in church this week. It would be fun to build a road like that to walk on and to review that story.
love him playing with his bunny
The books sound so sweet! I also love the cardboard fun! Amazing how creative they can get with it!
