Summary

Chapter 1: Meet the Character

In the first chapter of the book "That's Not My Bunny," we are introduced to the main character of the story, a little white bunny. The narrator describes the bunny's appearance, saying that it has soft, fuzzy ears and a fluffy tail. The pages are filled with colorful illustrations of different bunnies, each with unique traits. The reader is encouraged to touch the different textures of the bunnies, as the book is part of the popular "That's Not My..." series, known for its tactile elements.

Real Example: My daughter Lily, who is three years old, loves this book. She has a stuffed bunny toy that she likes to cuddle while we read the book together. As we turn to the first page, she excitedly tells me that her bunny has the same soft, fuzzy ears as the one in the book. She eagerly runs her fingers over the bunny's ears as instructed by the book.

Chapter 2: Searching for the Right Bunny

In this chapter, the narrator tells us that the bunny on the first page is not the right bunny. The bunny has rough paws, so it's not the one the narrator is looking for. The reader is invited to feel the different textures and find the bunny with soft paws. The next few pages show different bunnies with various textures, such as bumpy, scratchy, and sticky paws, but none of them is the right one.

Real Example: As we read this chapter, Lily becomes more engaged in the search for the perfect bunny. She carefully explores each bunny, feeling their paws and comparing them to her toy bunny's soft paws. She confidently tells me that none of these bunnies are the right one because their paws feel different.

Chapter 3: Finding the Bunny's Nose

The next challenge in the search for the perfect bunny is finding the one with the right nose. The narrator describes the bunny's nose as being bumpy, so the reader has to feel the different noses to find the right one. The pages show bunnies with shiny noses, bumpy noses, and even spiky noses, but none of them match the description given by the narrator.

Real Example: This chapter is one of our favorites because it's challenging and fun for Lily. She likes to guess which nose belongs to the right bunny before turning the page. Her face lights up when she finds the bumpy nose of the bunny that matches the description.

Chapter 4: Identifying the Right Tail

In the next chapter, the reader is asked to help the narrator find the bunny with the right tail. The bunny on the page has a bushy tail, which is not the right one. The pages show bunnies with different types of tails, such as fluffy, shimmery, and even knitted tails, but none of them match the description given by the narrator.

Real Example: Lily loves the different kinds of tails in this chapter. She often exclaims, "Look, Mama, that bunny has a bouncy tail!" or "That bunny has a sparkly tail!" Her excitement and enthusiasm make the search for the right tail even more enjoyable.

Chapter 5: Meet the Perfect Bunny

After searching for the right ears, paws, nose, and tail, the narrator finally shows us the perfect bunny. The bunny has soft ears, paws, a bumpy nose, and a fluffy tail. The reader is encouraged to feel all of the bunny's features to confirm that this is the perfect bunny.

Real Example: As we turn to the last page, Lily's face lights up when she sees the perfect bunny. She eagerly runs her fingers over the bunny's features, excitedly saying, "This is the right bunny, Mama!" We end the book with a hug and a kiss for Lily's bunny, which she now believes is the perfect one.

In conclusion, "That's Not My Bunny" is not just a simple touch and feel book. It's a fun and interactive story that engages young readers in the search for the perfect bunny. As a parent, I appreciate how the book encourages my daughter to use her senses and engage in the story. It's a delightful book that we enjoy reading over and over again.
