Of course you want to read books involving bunnies - we are awesome. Here I’ve compiled some of the cutest, best, or just plain coolest books that feature bunnies! (Don’t worry, I’ll format this page better some time soon!)

For Kids

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
A short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for–or attempting to postpone–his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight and within earshot, including the “quiet old lady whispering hush.”

The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
A young bunny decides to run away: “‘If you run away,’ said his mother, ‘I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.’”

Not A Box by Antoinette Portis
Through a series of paired questions and answers, the rabbit is queried about why he is sitting in, standing on, spraying, or wearing a box. Each time, he insists, “It’s not a box!” and the opposite page reveals the many things a small child’s pretending can make of one: a race car, a mountain, a burning building, a robot.

The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
Given as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the day when the Boy (as he is called) will choose him as a playmate.

Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells (or any Max and Ruby book)
It’s kitchen chaos when Max and Ruby become bunnies who each bake a cake for Grandma’s birthday.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
When Mrs. Rabbit beseeches her four furry children not to go into Mr. McGregor’s garden, the impish Peter naturally takes this as an open invitation to create mischief. He quickly gets in over his head, when he is spotted by farmer McGregor himself.

Bunnicula by James Howe
It all starts when Harold’s human family, the Monroes, goes to see the movie Dracula, and young Toby accidentally sits on a baby rabbit wrapped in a bundle on his seat. How could the family help but take the rabbit home and name it Bunnicula?

I Am A Bunny by Ole Risom and Richard Scarry
In the spring, Nicholas likes to sniff the flowers, and in the summer, watch the frogs in the pond. In the fall, he watches the animals getting ready for winter, and in winter, watches the snow falling from the sky.

Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen by Howard Binkow and Susan F. Cornelison
Meet Howard B. Wigglebottom, a curious rabbit who just doesn’t listen!

Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram
Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much.

Listen, Buddy by Helen Lester and Lynn M. Munsinger
His ears are enormous, but listening is not the forte of a bunny named Buddy. Taking his first solo “long hop,” Buddy forgets whether he is supposed to take a left or a right when the road forks. He selects the wrong route, of course, and ends up at the cave of the Scruffy Varmint, where he unleashes merry mayhem in trying to help that cranky creature cook soup. After the varmint decides that he’d rather eat stew made from “the Bunnyrabbit who never listens,” Buddy hears him loud and clear.

Leo the Lop by Stephen Cosgrove
Leo the rabbit whose ears are different from all the other rabbits learns that “normal is whatever you are.”

Gigglesnitcher by Stephen Cosgrove
Nothing is as it should be on the Island of Serendipity after the Gigglesnitcher arrives. That is, until Leo the Lop comes to the rescue in this delightful tale.

It’s Not Easy Being a BunnyVoyage to the Bunny Planet by Rosemary Wells
“It is the first duty of a flagging spirit to seek renewal in the latitudes of whimsy,” wrote Benjamin Franklin to his nephew in 1771. “I, for one, dream on beyond the five planets to a world without wickedness; verdant, mild, and populated by amiable lapins [rabbits].” This quotation appears on the title page of First Tomato, one of three engaging books in Rosemary Wells’s fabulous Voyage to the Bunny Planet box set. Perhaps Ben Franklin’s whimsical dreamland is the inspiration for these endearing, small, perfectly square books, each about a benevolent bunny who has an abominable day and needs to take solace in the kinder, more peaceful Bunny Planet.

The Gingerbread RabbitMarshmallow by Clare Turlay
Oliver is a tabby cat who is always the center of attention. Marshmallow is a baby rabbit who moves into Oliver’s home. At first Oliver does not welcome Marshmallow, but the little bunny’s charms are impossible to resist. This is the true story of how Oliver and Marshmallow become friends.

That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell and Neal Layton
One day, Emily and her rabbit are launching themselves into outer space to look for alien life-forms when they are interrupted by the Chief Footman to Queen Gloriana. He offers to trade a golden teddy bear for Bunnywunny. ” ‘No, thank you,’ said Emily Brown. ‘This rabbit is NOT for sale. And his name isn’t Bunnywunny. It’s STANLEY.’” But Queen Gloriana will not take no for an answer, and repeatedly sends her military staff to offer undesirable toys to Emily in trade for her rabbit. After several more refusals from an increasingly irritated little girl, the special commandos sneak into her bedroom at night and steal Stanley. Emily Brown storms the palace and confronts the queen, who cannot understand why Bunnywunny looks so miserable. So Emily takes pity on the silly queen and whispers the secret of how to have a happy toy.

Letters From Felix: A Little Rabbit on a World Tour by Annette Langen and Constanza Droop
In one of the inaugural titles from the Abbeville Kids imprint, Sophie’s family is returning from vacation when her stuffed rabbit, Felix, disappears in a crowded airport. Readers will spot the lost toy on the luggage conveyor depicted in the first of Droop’s cheery, busy spreads. As the distressed child goes home, Felix embarks on a whirlwind international tour, communicating with Sophie via five letters (which can be removed from envelopes attached to the pages). After each epistle describes the rabbit’s sightseeing adventures in London, Paris, Rome, Cairo, Kenya and New York City, Langen fleshes out Felix’s travelogue with additional information about the locales.

Huge Harold by Bill Peet
The world seems a cold place to Harold, a very overgrown rabbit, until he finds his niche as a champion trotter.

Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming and G. Brian Karas
After years of dreaming of planting a garden, Mr. McGreely finally takes hoe and watering can in hand and makes his dream come true. Unfortunately for him (but luckily for readers), this is not the happily-ever-after part of the story. Late one night, three hungry bunnies appear: “Tippy-tippy-tippy, Pat! Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!” The next morning finds our farmer gnashing his teeth over the gnawed sprouts. So he builds a small wire fence. That night… “Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!” So Mr. McGreely builds a tall wooden wall.
