We find Rupert’s attempt to lay an egg very funny in this amusing story about a rabbit trying to find himself a job so that he can go and live in the farmyard.

Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar by Emily MacKenzie
We can totally sympathise with Ralfy Rabbit’s book obsession but stealing isn’t the answer. Rally needs to get help before his obsession gets out of hand!

I am a Bunny by Ole Risom and Richard Scarry
Nicholas was illustrated by Richard Scarry in the ’60’s but he still does a great job of introducing children to the different seasons. The book has also been translated into German and French.

What Small Rabbit Heard by Sheryl Webster and Tim Warnes
Due to windy weather what Small Rabbit hears is very different to what his mother is saying to him when they are out for a walk. My daughter finds the actions resulting from his misunderstanding very amusing!

Where’s the Bus? by Eileen Browne and James Croft
This was one of my daughter’s first favourite picture books. She found it funny that she saw the buses that Rabbit and Mouse missed when they were trying to get to Duck’s house for tea.

Nice to see ‘Where’s the Bus’ getting a mention on your list. There’s an earlier version of this book which is illustrated by Eileen herself which I personally prefer.
‘Where’s the Bus’ has always been one of my daughter’s favourite stories and it was the first book that we recommended on Story Snug. How wonderful to have a version illustrated by Eileen 🙂
Pat the Bunny still has to be my all time favorite. While not directly related to Easter, my children had so much fun as toddlers turning to that book over and over again!
Most of the books here aren’t related to Easter, we just love books with bunnies 🙂 I’ll look out for Pat the Bunny, I don’t know the story.
The Gryphon Press tweeted their suggestion – Bella from The Forgotten Rabbit.

Hopping (tee hee) over from the Kid Lit Blog Hop #37. My all time favorite is the Richard Scarry illustrated book.
I am a Bunny is such an old book but it’s still lovely to read and relevant to children today.
Cutest list of the week Catherine! Never tire of bunnies.. Easter or otherwise :)) Thanks for sharing it on Kidlit Bloghop this week!

Thanks Reshama, bunnies are a popular theme for picture books. We had lots to choose from!
Other than “I am a Bunny” these are all new to me. Thanks for sharing them on the Kid Lit Blog Hop!
You’re welcome – it’s amazing how many bunny picture books there are!
You’re missing Mo Willems’ Knuffle Bunny! I’m on my phone, so I can’t send a link to it now
Thank you Erika! I don’t know Knuffle Bunny – will check it out 🙂
Ahh Elsa loves anything with a ‘babbit’ in it! You can’t beat Miffy though when it comes to picture book bunnies!
That’s true – Miffy is a lovely picture book bunny 🙂 I must pin her to my board!
Great round up, if you could add our badge or link back that would be great thanks! x
