Summary: This Book Says "You're Special!" Five Treasured Ways
Review: As a mother, I really like it when a book has something meaningful to say. Some books are frivolous; they teach no lessons because they're just for the fun of it. The book "If You Were My Bunny" is both fun and meaningful. This book is about the relationship between mothers and their children, and in this slim story, five animal moms tell their respective animal babies how very precious they are. My two-year-old daughter loves this book so much, she requests it every night. The songs which accompany the text (lyrics are sung to the tune of familiar lullabies) have become her bedtime songs. The lyrics are so sweet, I'm no longer allowed to sing "the old words". The sentiment of this book is wonderful, and the songs are catchy. I would recommend, however, looking at the last page before your first read - this way, you'll know what tune to use for each of the five animal's songs. The illustrations are superbly done, and just right for the 2-4 age group. It's so important to read to your kids, and whenthey love a book as much as my daughter loves this one, you can look forward to a special time together.

Summary: What a wonderful book!
Review: My 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter started singing these songs while riding in the car. She sang them over and over. I asked her mom about it and she showed me this great book. She especially likes the one about the bear cubs as we have bears visit our property. Kids can't help but get the feeling they are special when someone reads this book to them. How many times do we say "I'm lucky to be your parent" to our kids because they are so awesome? This book does that. This book is comforting. It relays the message that we are here to take care of them, protect them and love them.

Summary: couldn't put it better
Review: My son is only 16 months and he adores this book. I have been reading this book to him since he was 3 months old and we both haven't tired of it yet. My 16 month old hums the songs and "sings" them as soon as he picks up the book. I started reading this book to my 7 week old and have a feeling he will love it too. I plan on getting one for a pregnant friend. Makes a great baby shower gift!
