About the book...

The Nantucket Bunnies think that a toy bunny has been captured by a boy and his family. It seems that the bunny is in constant danger as the family travels across Nantucket. But a surprise awaits the Nantucket bunnies when one of them finally gets to talk to the bunny!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a bunny is at risk, the Nantucket Bunnies are on the case! The reports coming in put this floppy eared friend in potential peril, and investigative hops all around the area reveal...the situation isn't dire, but incredibly sweet!

I love the fact that no matter where the family traveled, they followed suit. No museum too small, nor beach too big; there wasn't anywhere they could go that would prevent these bunnies from saving the day, not the network from pinpointing their location! Once they confirmed with their stuffy friend that things weren't exactly as they seemed, they knew the right thing to do was leave this found family exactly as is. They knew that friendship doesn't look the same for everyone, and could see that although they did go to "dangerous" places, his friend was taking great care every single time. They could see there was no REAL danger here and even made friends with the bunny's young boy in the short time they had to meet.

It's a wonderfully illustrated story that takes us on a visual tour of the island while providing adventure and edutainment on the beauty of friendship. Our differences are what make us, well...US...and variety adds spice to life AND friendship. This duo may look different from each other, but they are a match made in FRIENDSHIP. A great tail, I mean...tale...to add to any reading library, and a wonderful story for all ages.
