[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really well written book for children to learn how to interact with shy children. Or if they are a shy child that it's okay to make new friends. Thumper learns to be friends with a shy hedgehog and although she doesn't talk with him and stays hidden and watches Thumper and his sisters play. But from time to time Thumper still goes toward her or speaks to her. Then she does come out and want to play! And they all enjoy each other. Very well written and illustrated.

My oldest son is 15 and he loved these books as a toddler. I now get to share them with my younger two. Thumper bunny books will always have a special place in my heart. They are illustrated so beautifully and that you can’t help but be captivated.

I read to my grand daughter every day. She is one year old and loves story time. She sits on my lap and looks at the pictures while I read to her.

She loved this story and as we read, we pointed at the pictures.
