5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Tale, July 4, 2009

This review is from: I Believe Bunny: I Believe Bunny Series (Hardcover)

When I first received I Believe Bunny by Tish Rabe (llustrated by Frank Endersby) from Thomas Nelson's Book Review Blogger program [...] I could not believe the gorgeous illustrations. As my mother said, they make you want to go professionally copy them a make a border to around your child's room. They are just SO striking and pleasing, to a boy or a girl!

I found this new series to be interesting and a wonderful way to weave the bible into younger children's lives, in a way that they can understand. This book is based on Philippians 4:13 : `I can do everything through him who gives me strength'. While obviously very religious based, none the less, the tale is appealing to anyone under the concept of helping others.

From the moment I opened this book to read to my daughter, she was entranced by the illustrations and the basic story. The story begins with I Believe Bunny on a day when it is raining and wet. The butterflies ask him to come with them to find a dry place, but Bunny thought he should stay. The reason becomes clear, for it is as if God wanted him there, when he hears a call for help. A small mouse is caught in the river and needs help because he can't swim!

I Believe Bunny tries to save the mouse by being ingenious and grabbing a stick, even though he is afraid himself. When he realizes he can't save the mouse, he asks for help, and God sends the help he needs, and mouse is saved. Mouse and I Believe bunny then become fast friends!

My daughter loved that everyone helped at the end and said "yea God!" This was a wonderful tale of helping others, asking for God's help through prayer and receiving the help you need, and finding out that sometimes someone who you don't think of as a possible friend, can become your best friend!

My father already plans to use the book as an example for one of his children's sermons, as it is so easy for children to comprehend AND apply in their own lives!

I know I'll be giving this book for gifts for baby showers and birthday presents!

"Once upon a time
in a land hard to find
lived the I Believe Bunny
who was funny and kind"

So begins the brand new children's book, I Believe Bunny, the first in the I Believe Bunny series written by Tish Rabe. It's rhyming words and lovable animal characters made my daughter thrilled to read it....and not just at bedtime!

It's raining....and raining....and raining. Bunny isn't too happy about it either. Soon Bunny has to focus on something other than himself, as a small mouse is caught in the rapidly flowing river. Bunny calls for help, but no one is near. He isn't sure what he can do as a small bunny. He is even fearful. But as he tries to figure things out himself, he remembers to pray to God for help.

The book is based on Philippians 4:13.... "I can do everything through him who gives me strength". What an important lesson for children (and adults) to learn....no matter how small, no matter how seemingly unattainable, nothing is impossible for God.

Tish Rabe, best-selling author of over 80 children's books (including a favorite of mine - There's No Place Like Space (Cat in the Hat book), has created a series that children and parents will love. I'm excited to say that the 2nd book in the series is available now too:

I loved this book, Oh, and so did my kids. Once i started reading it they became so quiet and attentive, the storyline kept them involved in the story. They especially loved the graphics and illustrations. The colors in the book were amazing. They enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to read it again, the same night.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is a delight to the young and old alike. It purs a new twist on faith and believing.
