Editorial Reviews

Review

"[A] sweet, brief rhyming tale celebrating hugs at any hour of the day . . . . The pleasingly predictable rhyme will have preschoolers chiming in all the way to the page where the covers are pulled up. Worth a pause and may well inspire a hug or two." — Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to introduce the clock
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

This is such a cute story!!!! It was in instant hit with my 2.5 yr old and every day she puts in a request for that specific book. The story is very cute and relatable for a toddler. The little bunny wakes up at a certain time, washes face, combs hair, chooses clothes to wear, sits down to eat breakfast from a bowl. Then cooks, plays, reads with mamma and has a fun afternoon in the park. There is a fully described bedtime routine as well.

The little bunny is not specified to be a girl or boy, so this book can be read to either with equal success.

Of course the main point is that throughout the day the bunny checks the time on the clock. The times are always 'on the clock' (i.e. round hours, 8am, 11am, etc). It's a great way to introduce the clock to a younger audience.
I bought this book because my daughter was getting very much into hugs and had started noticing the clock and was very curious what it was. Great purchase.

this book has such a sweet message, and it’s so fun to read! My daughter loves it, and she’s so young that she doesn’t really even love books yet. But she always pays attention to this one.

I originally got this from a used book store but my daughter and I read it so many times it fell apart. She is so attached to this book I had to buy it again! I've since gotten a few others by the same author and illustrator and we absolutely love them. ❤️
