Hello, My Name is Bunny!

by Matt Bloom

Inspired by a real-life rescue cat named Bunny, Hello, My Name is Bunny! is the tale of a small kitty with a big heart who's finally found her fur-ever home, thanks to a kindly New York City couple.

Yet Bunny can't seem to enjoy her good luck knowing other anim als aren't as fortunate as she is.

This desire to help those in need compels Bunny to escape her safe, comfy apartment and embark on a wild adventure that takes her through Manhattan's busy streets and over its towering skyscrapers in a daring attempt to rescue a mistreated carriage horse.

Will Bunny's mission to save the poor carriage horse succeed? Will the help she gets from Mike the Mouse, Polly the Pigeon, and Peter the Deliveryman be enough?

Join brave Bunny and her loyal friends on their incredible journey to find out!

Getting to know the adorable little tuxedo cat Bunny and her friends was an utter delight! When they all set upon a dangerous journey to help a mistreated carriage horse in Central Park, they stole my heart. This story is wonderful for children, but adults will love it too! I highly recommend.

Such a sweet, funny book with a message of kindness

This is the story of a former shelter cat who wants to pay forward her good fortune for being adopted! She’s a brave little goody two shoes who ends up rescuing a Central Park carriage horse!
