If You Like Bunnies!

It is spring (well, at least according to the calendar). And when it is spring I often think of cute little animals—including bunnies. Here are some of my favorite bunny books that were published recently. Enjoy!  

Bouncing Bunnies! 
By Fiz Osborne 
Illustrated by Tim Budgen 

New York: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2025. Picture Book. 
I love reading this bunny book out loud! It is all about cute little bunnies that wiggle—and readers can wiggle and bounce along with the bunnies (which just may be my favorite part!). The rhymes are fun for littles learning about rhythm and rhymes and the illustrations are simply adorable.

I couldn’t not include an Easter Bunny book in this bunny list. And this is a pretty silly one. Readers are introduced to a bunny that the narrator suspects is the Easter Bunny. The bunny emphatically denies being associated with the holiday (though readers see that at the end the bunny really is the famous egg-hiding master). A fun book for readers who love the spring holiday and being able to see that what they read isn’t always what is happening.

Two bunnies have different views on books. Pip loves reading while Bun thinks books are boring. When Bun can’t wait to play with Pip, Bun learns about some of the adventures that are found in a book—which eventually leads to Bun also loving books (though not as quietly as Pip). This is a cute bunny book about moving, sharing stories, and being together.

This is a fun book about how one bunny is one bunny until that bunny is joined by another bunny (and then more and more bunnies). Kids who are trying to figure out the concept of an individual verses a group and how groups can be made up of a lot of individuals will enjoy this book.

Boulder and Cactus are friends. And Boulder desperately wants to be close to Cactus in time to see the cactus’ flowers bloom. Only, Boulder can’t move very well. Fortunately, there is a bunny that knows Boulder’s wish and is able to move Boulder. This is a sweet story about working hard and doing something nice just for the sake of being a nice bunny. So sweet!

Stand Tall by Joan Bauer

By DeeDee
Stand Tall By Siena Siegel by Joan Bauer Putnam, 2002, 182 pgs Realistic Fiction Tree is 12 years old and over 6 feet tall. That would be great if he were a basketball player, but he is not. Dealing with his unusual size is not Tree's only challenge. Tree's parents have recently gone through a divorce, and his grandfather has had his leg amputated as the result of an old Vietnam War injury. The strength of this book is the characterizations. All of the main characters are dimensional and sympathetic. Bauer sets the characters in real and often funny family situations. Best of all is the character of Tree. He is boy with a heart to match his stature. This is a great book for boys or girls ages 9-12, as a read aloud or for individual reading. This book could also be a good Rx book for children whose families are going through divorce, or for anyone who feels like they don't fit in.

Review: Cincinnati Lee, Curse Breaker

By
  Cincinnati Lee, Curse Breaker By Heidi Heilig New York: Greenwillow Books, 2025. Fiction. 291 pages. Thanks to Cincinnati Lee's no good, dirty rotten, artifact stealing great great great grandfather, Cincinnati's family is now cursed and Cincinnati feels like it's up to her to break the curse. Which involves trying to steal the artifacts back from museums that her grandfather robbed from graves and archeological sites around the world and return them to their countries of origin. But when Cincinnati's first artifact stealing mission goes awry, she decides it might be more effective to steal an all-powerful artifact herself that she can use to break the curse - The Spear of Destiny. Unfortunately her race for the spear will pit her against art smugglers and thieves intent on finding the ancient artifact themselves. If you are looking for an Indiana Jones read-alike, this is the perfect for you! Heavy on the adventure with similar levels of mysticism to those seen in th...

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger! The Factory is a page-turning sci-fi with multidimensional characters, an intriguing plot, and refreshingly straight-forward writing. Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
