Absolutely the Best!.......2007-07-06

I found this book in the attic of our old apartment, before I could even read English. I fell in love with the book then, because I guided myself through the book's gorgeous illustrations. When I finally did learn to read in English, it was even more magical. I carried this book (torn pages and all) for 13 years everywhere I moved until one day, I spotted the bookcover's color out of the corner of my eye at a bookstore---I was ecstatic! It was still in print! Since then, I've purchased well over 100 copies to give away to every child or baby I know. If you ever buy a book for a child--boy or girl---this is the one they should have. It's not only utterly beautiful, but it's story is powerful!

A Heartwarming Tale of Courage and Compassion!.......2007-05-17

I've loved this book for nearly 50 years.... my children loved it, too. It's the story of a little "country bunny" who has high aspirations - to be the next Easter Bunny. Despite all odds, and with the help of her little (?!) family, she braves gigantic obstacles to prove that she has what it takes: she's courageous, swift, and kind. It's beautifully written, and the illustrations capture the tenderness of the story. Reading it will affirm that goodness and compassion can provide the strength to achieve what may seem impossible!

The Counntry Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.......2007-05-13

This was the first book I checked out at the library as a first grader.
I wanted my grannybabies to know a little about Grannymaw; when she was little....

Fabulous!.......2007-04-10

I read this book in the early 70's for the first time and now give it away as gifts. It's a wonderful Easter story that encourages little girls to dream big dreams! The drawings are artful, the colors are memorable and the story is very sweet. I enjoy giving it to others as much as I loved having it read to me as a child.

A Classic. This book was written prior to the Women's Lib movement but wow, does it ever celebrate women, especially mothers. How refreshing to read and what an unusual perspective on the hard-working

I purchased this book for my grandson age 2. The book arrived promptly and brought back fond memories. It is still a classic!!

You won the golden egg.......2006-04-16

My children, Josh and Amy, loved this book. Congratulations on finding this.

Must have! .......2006-03-21

My mother used to read it to me and now I am reading it to my daugther (she's 2 1/2). It is a family favorite. The story is beautiful, touching, sweet, etc. I love the language/word choice used by the author. I could read it to my daughter every day and not get tired of it. And, the illustrations are exquisite. They are so detailed and beautiful. If you do not own this book, go and buy it. It's worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. They don't make them like this anymore! This is a classic.

My son loves it as much as I did.......2006-02-22

This was one of my favorite books growing up. We got it for my 3 year-old son, and he loves it as much as I do. The question of, "What is inside the egg?" is exciting, even though he now knows the answer. We have fun coming up with new possibilities, though.

Bottom line: this is a great, fun book for a toddler. I highly recommend it. It also is useful for parents trying to encourage a child's imagination.

A true picturebook classic.......2004-07-09

Charmingly written by Margaret Wise Brown and superbly illustrated by Leonard Weisgard, The Gold Egg Book is a true picturebook classic telling the story of the rambling imagination of one little bunny as he tries to figure out just what is inside a beautiful blue egg. A whole new generation of children ages 2 to 5 will delight in this lively story as the bunny tries to shake, push, and even jump on the egg in his attempts to break it. But the egg won't hatch until it is ready! The Golden Egg Book will prove to be an enthusiastically popular addition to family, preschool, and community library collections.

Great Book!.......2007-09-16

This book is such a sweet, cute book. I am 24 years old and still read it to my nieces every once in a while. I have grown up making my parents read me this book over and over again every night and day. My copy is worn out but it also shows how much I enjoyed it. I hope you decide to buy it and read it to your children they will love it!

What a great, sweet book!.......2006-09-09

This is such a sweet little book! Probably not much past age 5, but the story has a bunny looking for a place to stay or a home of his own. He proceeds to ask everyone he meets if he can live with them and they all say no. However, when he meets a little white bunny, the bunny takes him in and they then live together. The last picture is just so sweet with the two bunnies snuggling together. The illustrations make you touch the page because the bunny looks so fuzzy! It is very much loved in our house and we highly recommend it!

home for a bunny review.......2006-03-30

I read this book 20+ years ago to my two children and it was their favorite and most requested Little Golden book. It is such a sweet and well illustrated book. My only regret is that I didn't keep it over the years because I now had to go on a search for another copy for my brand new grandchild. My new copy of "Home for a Bunny" will be extremely well used, I'm sure!

Touching & Memorable.......2005-05-22

My mother used to read this book to me when I was very small, and even twenty years later, I remember the story of the little bunny trying to find a home so vividly! This is such a sweet story, it ends happily, and it has beautiful illustrations as well. A wonderful exploration of the concept of "home." I'm looking forward to reading it to my own children one day.

Life-long favorite.......2005-04-19

My papa used to read this to me when I was a child, and then I apparently grew out of it for a while. I remember coming home from high school during finals week, exhausted. Dad saw me sigh and said, "Well, you're home for a bunny. You can relax now." Memories flooded me and we scrambled to find the book. Now, I've made it a tradition that when a family member or friend is expecting their first child, I give them a copy of this book. It's all about a little bunny(baby)coming home, isn't it? And when I was looking to buy my own first home...well, that's another story.

The writing is sweet and the illustrations charming. Highly recommended. It's a keeper, for sure.

Little Rabbit.......2007-05-20

Some of my family and I participated in a school project for a friend's grandson - Felix was the inspiration - Very nice book and story - little envelopes with letters throughout - and a couple other inserts - very enjoyable - I plan to buy more Felix more my little boy.

Better read in childhood ... .......2007-02-01

This travelogue of a lost stuffed rabbit, Felix, was translated into English from the German. Felix's owner Sophie is disconsolate until letters start arriving from around the world, describing Felix's adventures and prompting Sophie's family to learn more about the various cultures Felix is enjoying and the world history he describes. You take the letters out of envelopes pasted into the book a la "Griffin & Sabine." A close examination of the first page illustration will show what happened to Felix (though it doesn't explain his later adventures). This was a sweet book but would need to be read during childhood to become a favorite, as it didn't have enough interest to captivate this new adult reader.

Felix : A Little Rabbit on a World Tour.......2005-09-14

A beautifully presented book, with a lovely story. The information it gives is easy from the age group it is aimed at to comprehend and learn without knowing their learning. A fun read.

A wonderful way to open the world for young children.......2005-04-27

My son (now 4 1/2) and I have been enjoying this book for the past year. A friend of mine sent it as a gift. My son is fascinated with geography and has a wonderfully active imagination. He is enthralled with the adventures of Felix and still cannot wait to take the next letter out of the envelope. My parents do a great deal of travelling and I may "lend" them one of my son's stuffed animals so that he can learn of it's adventures too. I just ordered two more books from this series. This book is a delight and an excellent learning tool!

a great read.......2004-11-07

This book was a perfect solution for my 4 year old who I felt was ready for more advanced reading. His interest was kept even though there was quite a bit of writing on each page. His anticipation in reading Felix's letters was a joy to watch. The picture of Felix next to the Eiffel Tower actually made me laught out loud the first time I saw it. I am definitely going to buy the next in the series. Loved it.

What’s a bunny to do on such a fine sunny day? Follow his nose! Down the hill, into the forest, and through a vegetable garden, Little Bunny does just that! Kids will love all the wonderful things there are to smell—pine, peach, roses and more—in this classic scratch-and-sniff book originally published in 1971.

Customer Reviews:

A sweet trip down memory lane!.......2007-09-15

This was one of my favorite books as a child. I was thrilled when my Mom bought it for my son. He is now 13 months old and loves to "read" it on his own, leaning over the sniff the smells. It is a sweet little tale of a little bunny sniffing his way around one afternoon, encountering his friends who introduce him to scents of a rose, pine needles, peach, pickle, strawberry jam and cookies. The writing is simplistic with the "hop, hop, hop" refrain adding a nice cadence. There is one draw back though: As another reviewer noted, the scents didn't last for very long!

Beware!.......2007-08-18

The integrity of this book is seriously compromised by the new, non-descript, circular stickers. They actually obscure the illustrations that they cover. It makes me sad that what used to be a childhood favorite is now seems so cheaply made. Also, the scents are faint. If you're buying the book for the story and illustrations it is still fun. But if the scratch-n-sniff aspect is an important component(why wouldn't it be?), you'll probably be disappointed.

Favorite Book .......2007-06-30

My favorite as a kid, and now I'm reading it to my kids. Highly recommended!

Almost the same as the original.......2007-06-08

I decided to get this newly released version to replace my older book where the scratch and sniff decals are worn out. Everything is the same except in the last few pages- Little bunny is now having chocolate chip cookies instead of the original chocolate mint cookies. Otherwise this is a fun book that I enjoyed as a kid, and know that many other kids will love as well.

Scratch and Sniif is great for toddlers.......2007-05-22

My daughter loves scratch and sniff books after being introduced to this one. The story is great on this one and she loves the interaction. I highly recommend for any baby/kid.

Book Description

In this irresistible book it's not just field mice that suffer Little Bunny Foo Foo's mischievous tricks, but woodchucks, foxes, & grizzly bears! And as LBFF's subjects grow so do his scooping methods, from lasso to tractor bucket to crane. All the while, LBFF takes his naughtiness to hyperbolic heights as the Good Fairy--hilariously rendered as a possum--points out the error of his wayward ways w/ humor & spunk. Painted in a warm, folksy style w/ vibrant colors & soft edges, Johnson strikes just the right balance between the joys of being bad & a tongue-in-cheek lesson in behavioral reform.

Little Bunny Foo Foo.......2007-02-06

As a retired elementary teacher, I am always on the lookout for children's books that are funny and illustrated to capture the attention of young children. This book does it all. My 5 year old grandson loved the illustrations and story. We had sung the song previously and he enjoyed the changes - especially the looks on the faces of the animals who were next in the path of Little Bunny Foo Foo's "mud attacks". He especially liked the picture when the Good Fairy, pushed to her limit, (a Good Fairy can just take so much) changed Little Bunny Foo Foo into a GOON!

Little Bunny Foo Foo.......2006-11-10

The book is great, however because of the way the title is worded ("As told and Sung") it had led me to believe that the book came with a tape or CD.

Foo Foo is Fab!.......2006-05-23

My 12 year old, 10 year old, 6 year old and 2 year old have all loved this book from day one. I have read it so many times it is falling apart. I have a very vivid memeory of a long car trip in which my then 4 year old son sang it for hours too my 2 year old daughter adding on characters to be "bopped" like winnie the pooh and piglet, etc. I am on here buying yet another copy as mine is ripped, taped, crinkled and wrinkled with years of love. We adore Foo Foo. It is the only book my non-speaking (not yet anyways) 2 1/2 year old relates too and it I even think it has helped him use his hand gestures more.
Can't say enough....

Great Fun.......2006-01-03

I have never heard the song. My son, age 3 LOVES this book and I love reading it to him. He is very active and didn't like to sit and be read to...until this book. He loves it, chanting along with me in a sing-song voice. And I don't mind reading it over and over and over and over. The illustrations are a delight and the text is fun. We bought it about a year ago, and our cheap softcover has become very worn and is taped together. I see this book as a "classic" at our house and will be investing in a higher quality hardcover copy. We have zillions of kids books, and this is one of those very few that endure.

Love This Book!.......2005-12-07

My 2 y.o. daughter loves this book, and its repetitive nature has made it easy for her to memorize and "read" it to herself. Sometimes we send this book along with "So Many Bunnies" and "Daddy's Little Girl" for gifts.

Originally published in 1951, this vintage Little Golden Book tells the touching story of Great-Grandpa Bunny Bunny, who teaches each new generation of bunnies how to prepare for the coming spring. Featuring classic Disney illustrations and sweet, simple text, this title will delight new and old Disney fans alike!

So many wonderful things about this book!.......2007-06-06

The illustrations are enchanting. The story tells of Grandpa Bunny who loves to tell stories to the children in the evening. Grandpa also teaches the bunnies about the value of hard work and is always looking for new ways to make the forest more beautiful...he teaches them to paint the autumn leaves and the spring flowers.

But the thing that really stands out is that the story helps to explain Death to children in a very lovely way. As long as you belong to a Faith that believes in an Afterlife, this book will help you explain to children that we never really die--part of us goes on.

I had this book when I was a child. After Grandpa Bunny dies, the little bunnies are not so sad because they see his work each evening--Grandpa Bunny paints the sunsets. Every time I see a sunset, I think of Grandpa Bunny and of my loved ones that are no longer here. Grandpa Bunny gets a lot of help with those sunsets. ;)

A Must-Have little book.......2007-03-28

This little book is a classic: poignant, touching and beautiful. A memorable story that teaches respect and love for elders, that will grab little ones' attention and have you re-reading it for yourself. My kids grew up on it and I bought a new copy for the grandkids; I was so glad to find it still in print.

Best Book.......2007-03-26

love the song, but the book doesn't sound good.......2003-09-08

I have known this song for 20+ years. The rabbit gets turned into a goon- moral: hare today goon tomorrow. My young children love the song even if they don't understand the adult twist to the moral. And they love acting it out. I think bopping with your hand is less offensive than using a large hammer! They also love the suspense of "Down came the gooooood fairy".
After reading all the reviews of this book I think I'm NOT going to ruin the magic of this song by getting this book.

Naughty little rabbit........2000-01-09

This is one of the funniest books I have read as a child and that I read to my children. It is about a rabbit whole boops animals on the head and is given three chances by the goo fairy to change. If he doesnt he gets turned into a goonie. Well little nauty rabbit foo foo doesnt listen and ends up being a goonie. Great pictures and theme that can be played like a song.

Rabbit to Goonie.......1999-02-06

A hilarious story that my son could 'read' before he was three because he knew the words off by heart! The pictures are wonderful and the good fairy sorts out the naughty rabbit in the end by turning him into a goonie (sort of green and small!) One of my favourites too!

Naughty Rabbit Foo-Foo!!!!!.......1998-06-13

This book is one of the funniest childrens books that I have ever read, I work as a nanny and am also expecting my first and this is a favourite of all the children that I have looked after, I would thouroughly recommend it to any parent starting to read bedtime stories to their children.

The funniest children's book ever.......1998-04-05

If you don't like this book you have no sense of humor :) The expressions on Little Rabbit Foo Foo's evil face are hysterical. Despite repeated warnings from the Good Fairy to change his attitude or be turned into a "goonie" Little Rabbit Foo Foo remains irrepressibly naughty.
