Bunnies and Their Sports

Reach for this book when you want to frame physical activity as a source of pure fun rather than a chore or a competitive high-stakes endeavor. It is a perfect choice for children who are hesitant about trying a new sport or for families looking to establish healthy, active habits in a low-pressure way. Through the lens of anthropomorphic bunnies, the story highlights the simple joys of movement, from the splash of a pool to the energy of a gymnasium. Nancy Carlson’s playful illustrations and straightforward text celebrate the physical sensations of exercise, focusing on the feelings of pride and accomplishment that come with staying active. Suitable for toddlers through early elementary students, the book emphasizes that being 'athletic' is about participation and enjoyment. It is particularly helpful for modeling post-exercise self-care, like taking a shower and resting, which helps children understand the full cycle of a healthy lifestyle.
