ABOUT THE BOOK

Each book in The Littlest Bunny Series features art and text created especially for a specific state or city, including all 50 states as well as cities in Canada.

Join Flop as he travels in an air balloon full of Easter eggs and visits some of your favorite landmarks, including famous sites like the Statue of Liberty in New York, California’s Hollywood sign, the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan, Georgia’s Fox Theater, Churchill Downs in Kentucky, and many more. Books also feature an Easter egg hunt game that invites kids to search for hidden eggs on each page.

REVIEW

The personalized nature of The Littlest Bunny in Utah intrigued me from the start.  The process sounded like a lot of work and undoubtedly it was, but much of the book clearly remains consistent from book to book.  The addition of landmarks from Utah and specific references to cities did add a nice touch and will thrill young readers. The hidden Easter eggs will be eagerly sought for by the kindergarten crowd making for a great counting activity.  The illustrations are adorable and while the landmarks seem to be digitally added to the pages (it would be impractical to do it any other way), they blend surprisingly well and don't detract from the main story.  The bunny is really cute and bound to appeal to youngsters.  Beyond the egg seeking activity it would be fun to take a look at a real map of Utah (or the appropriate place) and find the locations mentioned.  Lots of fun to be found here.
