Bunnies in a Rocket - (Sunny Town Bunnies) by Philip Ardagh (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Climb aboard for a zany, out-of-this-world ride from the team who brought us Bunnies on a Bus, Bunnies in a Boat, and Bunnies in a Sleigh.

They have traveled in a bus, in a boat, on Santa's sleigh and now, in their most epic adventure of all, the Sunny Town Bunnies are going to the moon! They've snuck their way onto a rocket ready to launch, and in no time at all they are streaking across the sky, through the atmosphere, and into outer space. What happens when they reach the moon? And how will they ever get back home again? It's one small step for a human but one giant leap for Bunnykind in this fantastic cosmic adventure brimming over goofy, lively fun.

Review Quotes

It's Rhino to the rescue in this bouncing, rhyming picture book, whose illustrations bustle with fun, silly details. Some of its two-page spreads are best appreciated if the book is turned to view them from a new perspective, making the bunnies' zany antics somewhat interactive!
