Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Pres-Little Bunny loves his pacifier and learns to laugh, crawl, walk, dance, and talk with it in his mouth. When the dentist suggests that he is old enough to give it up and tells him how to do it, even Little Bunny has to admit that it is a clever plan. He uses the pacifier only in the house, then only in his room, then only in his chair, etc., until he no longer needs it. Ultimately, Little Bunny presents it as a gift to his new baby cousin. The serviceable writing is warm enough to help children identify with the feeling of security the pacifier offers and the rabbit's hesitation to let go of this safety net. The colorful cartoons are full of smiling faces and pleasant family activities. Young listeners will nod in recognition and appreciation of Little Bunny's big step.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, but hard to follow, March 17, 2006

This review is from: Little Bunny's Pacifier Plan (Concept Books (Albert Whitman)) (Paperback)

I purchased this book because not only had we just visited the dentist and he suggested we get rid of the pacifier, but also we have a friend who just recently had a baby and we had the idea of trying to convince our little guy to give his pacifier to t e newborn! So this book seemed like a perfect fit! The only problem is that the steps for giving up the pacifier are pretty vague, and hard to follow. When I read this book to him I find that I add in a lot more details than the author provided. If you don't mind doing that, then this would be a good buy for you. Overall it is a sweet story that my son can relate to at this point in his life.

We never thought that our very strong willed daughter, who adored her paci, would give it up without a fight. Four days after we rec'd this book in the mail, she was ready to give her pacifiers to a neighbor's baby. That was it. No struggle, no fight. I give this book my highest recommendation!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars good springboard for getting rid of the pacifier, November 10, 2006

My almost three year old loved his pacifier. He only used it at night, but it was still hard to convince him to give it up completely. We read this book night after night for weeks and finally one day he was ready. It was a easy transition, but it was made easier by the book.
