When Elle's favorite stuffed animal goes missing the new rabbit she finds can't replace her beloved Bunny. Elle struggles with big emotions, wondering how she'll sleep without her pal.

A great book for young kids to show them what happens sometimes when a stuffed animal is absent for a bit.

The art is warm and endearing. This story would make an ideal Easter-basket addition--accompanied by a stuffed bunny!

A very cute book with awesome illustrations and a story that is relatable. A stuffed animal is often a first companion for young children and this book does a great job of highlighting that bond between the main characters, Elle and her Bunny. Highly recommend!

Who doesn't have a favorite stuffed animal? My son had a little cotton jacket which was his stuffed animal. He slept with it and carried it around for a long time. This is a very sweet book and a must-read. I love the soft illustration colors.
