First-Grade Bunny: Ready-to-Read Level 1

Robin Hill School

by Margaret McNamara, Mike Gordon (Illustrator)

A visitor is coming to Mrs. Connor's class -- a bunny! Her name is Sparky and everyone wants to take care of her. Except for Reza. He doesn't want to admit it, but he's afraid of bunnies. So Mrs. Connor gives him a special job, and Reza begins to realize that maybe bunnies aren't so scary after all.

About the author

Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award–winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.

Reviews

[Deidre A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book but it is intended for first readers. The names that they use are hard for my child to sound out. The storyline is good though and it shows that everyone has fears but everyone needs to deal with them in their own way in their own time.

not really about first grade....

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

I suppose not everyone is enthusiastic about a class pet and this book demonstrates this, with some multicultural flavor. It's a good book for beginning readers and shows different ways to help with the class pet and how it takes time to get over a fear. Our youngest really, really, really wants a bunny, so we've been reading anything and everything we can get our hands on that have to do with rabbits.

This book is one of many in the Robin Hill School series by Margaret McNamara and Mike Gordon. We enjoyed reading it together.
