My foster daughters are obsessed with bunnies because when they first arrived, it was right before Easter. When my husband was at the store buying diapers, toothbrushes, and such for our newest little friends, he went down the Easter aisle and grabbed each of our little girls a super soft plush bunny.

Our girls quickly attached to those bunnies and have been in love with bunnies ever since then.

So now, 4 years later, with 2 bunny fanatics in our home, it’s safe to say we own more bunny books that anyone we know.

Coming from a self-proclaimed bunny book expert, here’s 29 amazing children’s books about bunnies!

I am a Bunny is by Ole Risom and illustrated by Richard Scarry. This book is my Top Pick for ages 3 and under!

The vivid pictures in this book make it one of my family’s favorite bunny books. Admittedly, there isn’t really much of a plot, aside from watching a bunny go through the seasons. Our love for this book is more about enjoying the beautiful pictures and laughing over the funny things the bunny likes to do.
