Books like I Am a Bunny
By Ole Risom
For the child who notices every changing leaf and melting snowflake, this is a quiet, season-by-season look through the eyes of one small, content bunny. Gentle, unhurried, and quietly observant — a lullaby of a book.
A wide-eyed owl wakes up early and can't get back to sleep, so he explores the daytime forest for the first time, watching butterflies, wolf pups, and his very first rainbow.
As the sun comes up, birds, horses, rabbits, flowers, and bugs wake one by one, until finally the children rise to greet the day too.
An old bear settles into his cave for winter sleep and dreams he's a cub again, wandering through summer, fall, winter, and spring before waking to a world as beautiful as his dream.
A rhyming journey through a small pond as spring turns to autumn, following tadpoles, herons, and other creatures through their busy, splashing days.
A boy names his first carved jack-o'-lantern Jack, then watches it slowly rot in the garden through winter and sprout into a new pumpkin plant by spring.
A child looks closely at a single flower, using every sense to explore its color, its scent, its texture — and discovers a whole universe unfolding from one small bloom.
A gentle look at all the reasons trees are good to have around — for climbing, for shade, for leaf piles to roll in, and for birds to build nests in.
A curious cub spends a day exploring the forest with his mama, noticing green leaves, blue jays, and brown trout along the way, until he finds a patch of red strawberries.
A barnyard family of animals — roosters, cows, horses, goats, and a pink piglet learning to squeal — plays through a full day and settles down together as night falls.
A quiet walk through woods, pasture, and pond becomes a chance to spot birds, insects, and other hidden creatures as die-cut flaps fold out to reveal what's really there.
