I thought my 3-year-old son would get a kick out of Bud, but my 6-year-old daughter won't let this book leave her bedside table. She loves learning to read with Bud. I'm sure that, eventually, my son will, too.

I purchased several copies of Bud as holiday gifts. The children all instantly fell in love with Bud the Bunny. And how could they not? He's beautifully illustrated and well-written. His story provides events to which children can relate. I recommend this book for every child and know that they will enjoy it for many years.

Bud the Bunny is a perfect book for adults to read to children or for children to read to younger friends, brothers, or sisters. Using amusing alliteration to tell the story, this book is for anyone who wants to encourage a love of words in young children. Who could resist Bud the Bunny with a beige belly and a bent ear? This is one of the few children's books that demonstrates the fun of playing with words and language. The illustrations emphasize the alliterative phrases and match the story nicely. Bud the Bunny is one of the season's best children's books. Mary F. Whiteside, Ph.D.
