My Review:
I was nearly in tears the first time I read about Audrey Bunny. The story of Audrey Bunny is a heartwarming tale of a stuffed bunny who is not perfect. She has a thumbprint type mark on her that has kept most children from choosing her. She is embarrassed about this imperfect mark and sad because she has not been chosen. Then, a miracle happens and a little girl named Caroline chooses her as a birthday gift. Audrey does her best to hide her mark from Caroline, afraid that she won't be loved or special if Caroline realizes she isn't a perfect bunny.
This story is one that captured not only my imagination and hear, but that of my daughter and her little friend who I read the story to. They both sighed, saddened that the bunny was not chosen in the beginning and clapped and were so excited when she was chosen by Caroline. My daughter told me that "she would love the bunny just the way she was" and it brought joy to this Mom's heart to hear that from my 5 year old.
The illustrations on each page are wonderfully accurate and adorable. The pictures helped make the story come alive for me and for the girls who were reading it with me. The loved the pictures of Audrey Bunny when she was hiding her mark, and especially the pictures of her going to school with Caroline!
This is a story of God's love, and how each of us are unique and wonderfully made. A story that tells every little one that he or she is special no matter what is on the outside. I love this story and will continue reading it over and over to my children, friends, and family. I also enjoyed the Parent Connection in the back of the book. It has questions
and activities for parents and children to do together to reinforce the
message of the story. I highly recommend this book for any child!
