Bunny's Book Club

Illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss
Join Bunny as he takes a a top-secret trip to the library in a story that celebrates the love of reading.

Bunny loves to sit outside the library with the kids and listen to summer story time. But when the weather gets cold and everyone moves inside, his daily dose of joy is gone. Desperate, Bunny refuses to miss out on any more reading time and devises a plan to sneak into the library at night . . . through the library’s book drop!

What follows is an adorable caper that brings an inquisitive, fuzzy bunny and his woodland pals up close and personal with the world of books. Bunny’s Book Club is sure to bring knowing smiles to anyone who understands the one-of-a-kind magic of reading.
