Bunny Roo, I Love You
In a gorgeous picture book that’s playfully sweet and visually captivating, New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr and talented new illustrator Teagan White celebrate the many ways parents make their new babies feel at home.
The world can seem like a big, bewildering place for new babies—fortunately, their mamas know just how to soothe and comfort them. Through enchanting scenes portraying all kinds of mama animals looking out for their little ones, the mother in this story reassures her baby, and young children everywhere, that their caretakers will always love them and keep them safe. This beautiful picture book has the feel of a classic and its heartwarming premise should make it a family favorite.

Most Precious Foster or Adoption Book
We received this book through the Amazon Book Club for kids. After I read it through the first time, I realized it was the story of our journey with our little girl, who is now 2 years old. We did not expect to be asked to foster a baby, and we never dreamed she was the answer to all of the prayers we didn’t even know to pray. I related to each of the mommy animals, who all comfort their “baby” in different ways. Each example reminds me of a step we took in the fostering process. We bathed her with such care and gave her “milk” when she was hungry. It’s funny because I was so clueless that I bought incredibly expensive items, like a instant formula mixer, to help make her comfortable. When the mommy runs home to make her baby a cozy den, I can feel tears as I think back to getting her crib and turning the guest room into a nursery so she would have a home. The vacations are the warm spots so she can see the world. Each page is so meaningful to me. It all leads to the absolute answer—we got everything together to bring her to our home as quickly as possible—just going on faith and prayer—and the answer is she is our baby and this is her home. All of the pieces came together to give us the honor of being her parents and knowing she truly is ours. I am so thankful to have a precious book that is not advertised as a book for adoption or fostering, but it is incredibly heartwarming and means the world to me.
Oh so good! Our fav!
We LOVE this book. We have been reading it from the first month of baby's life. She is now 8 months old and the words of the story are so true. You don't realize it until time passes and then you make the connection. It's so sweet. I also love the illustrations not the typical bold in your face colors which is a pleasant surprise. It is also a quick read which is good with a moving baby!
So sweet and a great message for kids
This has to be one of the cutest books I have ever read for babies and parents. I read it in the bookstore and instantly teared up. I particularly like that it references all of the "annoying" and jarring things babies do (rooting, crying, etc), as animal behaviors, and offers things that the mommy did to help solve the baby's problems. I think this book would be especially great to read to older children when they are about to become big brothers or sisters. It can remind them that they did these "annoying" behaviors too and place the baby's actions in context for them, as something all animals do, and as actions that mommies and families need to help soothe. The illustrations are exceptionally cute, too. I've ended up purchasing three more copies to give as presents to my new parent friends, all of whom had the same teary reaction I had. Love!
Adorable book
Super cute book! Not too big for toddlers to hold (pictures is my hand for size comparison) all hard, sturdy pages.
Gentle style
Cardboard book, not easy to tear. Rounded corners. The illustrations are exceptionally cute.
Love this book !
My son LOVES this book and it has been the only one he has ever been interested in. He actually lost it once and I purchased it again. My son is autistic and for some reason this particular book helps us bond. he loves the pictures I like to read with sound effects as well & interact. No complaints. I plan to buy another for a keepsake
The illustrations are absolutely adorable! They made me want to buy more books ...
The positive: The illustrations are absolutely adorable! They made me want to buy more books illustrated by Teagan White! The less positive: The story isn't that interesting (to me or my baby). It's about how a baby takes various actions (such as looking around, whimpering, etc.) and based on each of those actions, the mom thinks her baby is a different animal, but ultimately she realizes that he is not an animal, but her baby. While the concept is kind of cute, the story just isn't that fun to read to a child, in my opinion.
Pretty book!
I love this book. The story. The illustration. It's great. Unfortunately, my book is gross. It has nasty dried smears of god knows what, stains from what looks like coffee, and torn chunks (mind you it is a board book) such a lovely book, Some thing that could be saved for your kids kids. 5 stars because the seller is refunding me. Will donate this copy and purchase a new copy
Sweet
The Easter bunny bought this book in my daughter’s Easter basket. 😉. Such a sweet story about different little baby animals and ends with a mama and baby. I love this book. Sweet message for a mama and a baby that warms the heart but not so much to make you cry also he illustrations are very soft and classic. One of our favorites.
The story and the illustrations are seriously adorable. Love the book
The story and the illustrations are seriously adorable. Love the book. I had a problem with the book being pretty dirty which was a little disappointing. I think Amazon should package each book in something as to not allow them to get dirty/banged up in the warehouse or in transit (wherever it may happen). Didn't take away from the book though, just a little annoying when I'm trying to gift a book and it already has dirt on it.
