Bunnysaurus – Touch and Feel Board Easter Book: A Review from a Busy Mom
As a mom, there are those evenings when the chaos of the day seems to tumble into bedtime like a stray toy under the couch. Just last week, I found myself in the usual wrestling match of trying to get my three-year-old, Max, and my five-year-old, Sophie, to quiet down and settle in for storytime. Lo and behold, that’s when I stumbled upon Bunnysaurus – Touch and Feel Board Easter Book by the delightful Little Hippo Books. Honestly, it felt like finding a hidden gem amidst the toys.
This heartwarming story introduces us to Donny Dino, a bright-eyed dinosaur who is convinced he’s the Easter Bunny. His dino buddies might be doubtful, but their love for him is unwavering. The story is a charming blend of whimsy and laughter, perfectly suited for young readers.
What drew my kids in immediately were the colorful, vibrant illustrations. They lit up with curiosity as we turned each page filled with friendly, comical dinosaurs, making it feel like we were diving into a mini world of imagination. Max couldn’t contain his giggles when Donny’s determined look reminded him of our puppy’s confused face when he tries to play fetch with a stuffed bunny!
Let’s talk about the touch-and-feel elements—what a clever addition! Each spread features different textures, and I can’t tell you how much delight there was in seeing Sophie’s little fingers exploring every nook and cranny of the pages. “Feel this, Mommy!” she exclaimed, her face lighting up every time she encountered something new. It wasn’t just a read; it became a full sensory experience. I found myself captivated as well, discovering each texture alongside my kiddos, which ignited even more conversation.
The rhythm of the rhyming sentences made reading aloud fun and engaging. There’s something so satisfying about a book that rolls off the tongue smoothly—perfect for both the tired mom and the little listeners. One of our favorite lines? “With a hop here and a wiggle there, who cares if I’m a bunny? I love you in this silly affair!” It sparked giggles and a little debate over whether dinosaurs could even hop, keeping the laughter flowing long after we finished reading.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Bunnysaurus for any family with toddlers or preschoolers, especially around Easter. The playful concept of a dinosaur believing he’s the Easter Bunny is delightful, and the interactive features keep little minds actively engaged. It’s not just a one-time read—this one’s going on our special shelf of favorites!
In a world that sometimes feels rushed and chaotic, this book brought us back to the simple joy of connection through storytelling. It’s a reminder of the love and the laughter that binds us, even amidst our little chaotic moments. I’m thrilled to add Bunnysaurus (and its precious memories) to our Easter tradition, and I have a feeling it might find its way into your heartstrings, too! Grab it for a toddler or as a charming gift for an upcoming baby shower—it’s sure to be a hit!
