Bunny Tales

A couple years ago, I created a display of chapter books about mice.  I was surprised how many children's books there were featuring mice.  So this year, I created a display of chapter books featuring rabbits.  Again, I was surprised how many books there are with bunny characters.  So here are a few of my favorites . . . .

Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies by Andrea Beaty
