Sign in to write a reviewThis book is best read with a lot of vocal inflection and speed changes to mimic the 'ball' atmosphere. It can be read cold without any special context. A parent might choose this after seeing their child hesitate on the edge of a group at daycare, or conversely, when a child is 'bouncing off the walls' and needs a book that matches their internal tempo.
Younger toddlers (age 1-2) will focus on the bright colors and the repetitive 'bunny' sounds. Older toddlers and preschoolers (age 3-4) will enjoy the exaggeration of 'a billion' and can participate in the counting elements.
Unlike many bunny books that are soft and lullaby-like, this one is high-octane. It treats social interaction as a grand, colorful explosion of fun rather than a quiet lesson, making it stand out in the board book category.
The story follows a simple additive structure. It begins with one blue bunny and one yellow bunny meeting a third. As they begin to play, more and more rabbits of various colors arrive. The group grows exponentially until it reaches a whimsical 'billion' bunnies, all participating in a grand, festive 'Bunny Ball' in a field.
