Sleepy Bunny: Cloth Book

Touch-and-feel cloth book. Children can move the plush bunny from page to page as they hear all about how Bunny gets ready for bed, and then help tuck him in. Soft enough for snuggling up to after reading, this plush edition is a perfect pairing with the classic "must-have" baby gift.

I read this to my (3yo) niece three times in a row, asking her questions (where's the moon, what color is the blanket, how many stars) and letting her move the bunny wherever she wanted (she loved "picking up the toys"). She would've had me read it a dozen times if I wasn't rescued/interrupted by bed time! Super cute book for a small kid, so far has proven indestructible, and the bunny is a favorite among the children and adults of my family. The niece has also fallen asleep two nights in a row clinging this to her face!

A soft, cloth book with a hanging plush bunny that the child or adult reader can move from page to page as Pat the Bunny gets ready for bed. I haven't read the original Pat the Bunny book yet, but now I am curious because I really enjoy this adorable infant book.

One of the most important aspects of becoming mobile is the ability to explore one's environment without the distorting influence of one' mother and father's attempt to "frame" ones experience (in other words, without having to stay where one is put). Having recently learned to crawl, I consider it my privilege-or rather, my duty-to explore beyond the bounds previously imposed upon me, to experience for myself the world, enabling me to rely upon my own experience, rather than the secondhand impressions of reality I receive from others, and thus to escape from the Platonic cave and venture out into the bright illumination of the real world. Only in this way do I have the chance to make my own mark upon the world, to improve the lot of others, and of myself in doing so. A charge to keep, I have.

In short, I really, REALLY want to play with the power strip under my mother's desk.

My mother, on the other hand, is determined to limit my autonomy despite her (daily increasing) inability to do so. One of her attempts to prevent me from crawling under there involved showing me this book.

It was a good book. It has a little bunny in it attached to a ribbon, who you can pretend move through a typical bedtime routine.

It doesn't have any power strips in it.

My mother's desk has a power strip under it.

I'm going under there.

Summary: This book is a soft cloth book. The child can move the buddy from page to page as the bunny gets ready for bed. The bunny puts his toys away, has a yummy snack and pulls up the covers to go to sleep. The child can then put the bunny in the bed.
Personal Reaction: I think this is a good book for the child to play with the bunny on each page and put him to bed. I think at the beginning the child will not understand what to do with the bunny but after reading and showing them, the child will be able to imitate you putting the bunny to bed. The pages are colorful and simple for the child to see and do the activities the bunny is suppose to be doing.

Lucas loves this book too! He pats Pat the Bunny and he mimicks the eating, waving, and everything else Pat does before going to sleep (:

Very pretty cloth book, with a stuffed bunny.
It tucks into a couple of pages in the book.
My daughter can't really figure out what the rabbit is for, but she likes to hug the book during car rides.
