Children's Book Review & Giveaway~Audrey Bunny

This month, the sweetest children's book was released by B & H Publishing.  Audrey Bunny, written by Angie Smith with illustrations by Breezy Brookshire, is a 32-page hardcover with a dust jacket.  This book was such a huge hit with my grandson Daniel, that I now have it memorized!

Audrey Bunny is the story of a lonely stuffed bunny who lives in a store in a barrel, hoping to be chosen by a child.  But other animals are always chosen, because this bunny has a stain on his chest.  One day, a little girl named Caroline chose the bunny and named her Audrey.  The story continues with their adventures together, and Audrey Bunny learning that she is special and loved, even though she is different. 

 

The story itself is just so heartwarming, and the illustrations, which are on every page, are beautiful! I think the text is for established readers, not brand new beginners.  But I think this is the perfect book for adult and child to read together. 

Here is grandson Daniel, 2, with Audrey Bunny.  (He's in that stage of only being able to be cheesy for the camera!)  The first time I read him Audrey Bunny, when we were done with the story he went to his toys and pulled out a bunny he received last Christmas.  Next thing I know, after just hearing the story once, he was acting out  Caroline and Audrey reading together, playing together, and dancing together.  It was the sweetest thing, and I didn't think he was paying that close of attention while I read!  Ever since that first time reading Audrey Bunny, he asks for it every time we read and he always has to hold his bunny-who now, of course, is named Audrey :)

Author Angie Smith is a best-selling women's author, and wife of Todd Smith, the lead singer of the award-winning group Selah.  To learn more about Angie, visit her website.
