Hello, My Name is Bunny!

by Matt Bloom, Shelley Simmons-Bloom, Pippa Mayell (Illustrator)

Say hello to Bunny! Inspired by a real life feline love-bug, Hello, My Name is Bunny! is the tale of a small kitty with a big heart who's finally found her fur-ever home. Yet she can't seem to enjoy her good luck knowing other animals aren't as fortunate as she is. Her 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.

Hello, My Name is Bunny! is dedicated to every shelter animal awaiting adoption. In honor of them, and the real-life Bunny, we are dedicating US$2 from every E-book sold to Kittykind (www.kittykind.org), the New York City cat shelter group who rescued Bunny.

Hello, My Name is Bunny! is an illustrated chapter book for children aged 6+ and for cat lovers of every age.

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!
