By following a group of energetic bunnies through their day, children see that every moment from morning hygiene to evening cleanup can be filled with joy and purpose.

The parent likely just experienced a 'stalling' tactic during a transition, such as a child refusing to put on shoes or complaining that they aren't tired when it is clearly bedtime.
A 3-year-old will focus on the silly antics of the bunnies and the recognizable objects (toothbrush, cereal bowl). A 5-year-old will begin to grasp the concept of 'morning, noon, and night' as a predictable cycle and may start to recognize the printed words for these time periods.
Unlike many dry 'routine' books, Sue DiCicco uses a high level of visual humor and 'busy' illustrations that keep children looking for small details. It manages to be educational about schedules without feeling like a lecture.
