So Many Bunnies Board Book: A Bedtime ABC and Counting Book (1998)

This is such a cute book! It's fabulous for toddlers who love bunnies. There are so many of them to find in this board book. It also has the ABC as well as counting up to 26. It's fun to read out loud as it is all written in rhyme in a manner similar to the poem about The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. ( )

22 months - ABCs, counting to 26! Not just 10, and rhyming. This is a simple and fun book. It only took a couple reads for you to give all the rhyming places the bunnies were sleeping. The illustrations are cute too! ( )

My first impression of this book was to rate it 3 stars (I'm not crazy about bunnies, in the first place), but my son really likes it, so I'm "upping" the rating. We've been reading it again and again. I have to say it attains what it sets out to do, which is to present all the letters of the alphabet and counting up to 26 in a fun, rhyming, rhythmic way. It's a story about a bunny living in a shoe with her 26 kids, each of whom has a name starting with a different letter of the alphabet. There's something funny on every page, as for each baby bunny you will want to see what they make its name rhyme with, i.e. the name rhymes with the spot where they sleep: "1 was named Abel. He slept on the table." And, some of the spots are really laughing-out-loud funny. Finally, there's a surprise ending the kids will enjoy. The whole page color pictures are cute.
Besides being a good bedtime story, this can be a great early reader book as well. The repetition will give speed to the child's reading and boost confidence, the bunny names are short and phonetically fairly easy to spell out and the rhyme then gives a useful clue for the unknown word in the following line. The humor in discovering all the crazy sleeping positions motivates the child to read on. My little one got a great kick out of this book, and I'll concede that it's very clever! ( )
