My children love this book at bedtime. No it won't have them telling time at age 3; but it will represent a full day of activities (of preschool age children) and very nicely introduce at least the concept of time. "Who will take a walk with me, Mother Bunny says at three" "Pull the paper from the drawer, bunnies begin art at four". "Hungry bunnies all arrive in the dining room at five". "Bunnies think that books are heaven, story time begins at seven". The illustrations are detailed, colorful and very attractive -- definitely that of a keepsake book. It's a sweet story of a full bunny day in simple rhymes that my children can now say with me. I highly recommend this book as well as "So Many Bunnies".

This beautifully illustrated story is an excellent way to teach your children about time. The bunny family spends time doing various activities throughout the day- eating, napping, playing, etc. My daughters love this story. They like to find the clock in every picture.

My daughter and I checked this book out from the library and read it that night. As I was finishing the book I looked at the clock and it was 8 o'clock, I pointed out to my daughter that "Bunnies, it is getting late...Good night!" Amazingly she agreed and was off to bed. I went and bought the book the next day and we now read it every night. It helps her to understand the times of the things we do daily. (Funny thing is that my maiden name was Bunney!) the perfect book!

The book was in excellent condition - Gave it to my 2 year old grandson for Easter - He loved it- wanted it read over and over - enjoyed finding the clock on each page. The book is beautifully illustrated. Depicts a family working and playing together constructively - very positive message.

I actually picked up this book at the library, thinking that the wonderful pictures would hold so many activities and things happening that my 20 month old daughter would be able to recognize. I completely failed to notice that the book was also about telling time. She absolutely LOVED this book! So much so that I have now ordered it so we can have a copy of our own. The lines on the pages are simple, yet clear, and the pictures are just amazing. Now it is not uncommon to hear my little girl saying "eight O'Clock... it's late... come down!" (She has sort-of memorized parts of it.) I think this book will hold a wide age appeal for our family because as our daughter grows, it will actually assist her with learning to tell time. And I really can't imagine getting tired of reading it to my kiddos. I definitely recommend this book.

The first thing that struck me about Bunny Day is how gorgeous it is. The pictures are sumptuous illustrations of everyday moments in an everyday family--waking up, playing, doing chores. Then when I read the book aloud to my daughter I realized the words were as well crafted as the pictures.

As another reviewer said, this book does not teach children to tell time. Instead it associates each hour with an activity, from morning routine to noon picnic to dinner and bedtime. In this way, it introduces the concept of what time means.

We love this book, and highly recommend it.
