Book Hero thinking about your next read

For his sixth birthday, a boy hopes for the perfect adorable dwarf rabbit of his dreams! However, the bunny he receives looks like a potato. The boy is sad and disappointed until the bunny finds ways to comfort him in this picture book about accepting others by the illustrator of "In My Heart." Full color.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When a boy receives a gift box from his uncle on his sixth birthday, he's sure he knows what's inside—the perfect, adorable dwarf rabbit of his dreams! The box does indeed contain a bunny... but it looks like a potato, with wiry whiskers and blobs of yucky fur—most definitely not perfect or adorable.

The boy is a blur of sadness, fury, and disappointment until the bunny finds ways to comfort him. Maybe this funny bunny isn't so bad after all?

This sweet story teaches children a valuable lesson about why it's important to give pets (and people!) a chance... even if they seem quite imperfect at first.
