Mai-Wyss’s soft-hued watercolor illustrations of the tidy library and Bunny’s book-filled home invite children in to poke around and become one of the group. Tatjana Mai-Wyss’s adorable Bunny, Porcupine, Bear and other animals make perfect book club friends for little readers. Little ones will recognize their own delight in books as Bunny shares his discover with his friends and they form a most cozy book club. The gentle suspense will keep little ones riveted to the story as clever Bunny finds a way into the library, Porcupine and Bear have a few sticky moments, and the librarian catches the crew unawares.

Finally, after several sleepless nights Bunny “tiptoed through the dark” to the library. But when the weather turned cooler and story time moved indoors, bunny knew he had to do something-“he couldn’t live without books.”īunny was afraid that animals weren’t allowed in the library. “He’d loved them ever since he first heard the lady with the red glasses reading aloud outside the library.” All summer long he listened to stories that took him to thrilling and magical places.
