"Sunny Day Bunny" by Linda Hayward
Great book for children that will encourage them to spend and enjoy time with Grandma!
It's the Christmas season as we present you books that are fun, and safe, for children to read. Given the inappropriate books available today, it's time to share, talk about, and review titles that you, the parent/guardian, would consider reading for your child(ren). Here's a good one: Sunny Day Bunny by Linda Hayward!
The story may not be reflective of the winter season since it's too cold to swim; but for other countries experiencing warm weather during this time, it's a great time to cool off. This story circles around Sunny Day Bunny wanting to go outside for a swim with guidance by Grandma Bunny. While one thing led to another, Sunny Day Bunny prepped for her time outside playing in the pool. After playing "pretend," she was able to sit along with Grandma Bunny having tea time, or in Bunny's case, juice served as if it were actual tea. This story, in summary, is Sunny Day Bunny spending time with her grandma, wanting to be outside, enjoying the sun and pool while relaxing. It is a great reminder of getting kids to go outside, bask in the sunshine, not pressing their faces with tablets and smartphones. (If saying that was harsh, you're welcome to click here reading why the late, great Steve Jobs, CEO and founder of Apple®, disallowed his own children to use iPads, yet went and sold them anyway. Don't be surprised if society, the internet and/or police end up being ones to discipline your child[ren], putting them back in their place—something you can't be mad at. How your child[ren] started and ended up as is a direct result of your parenting.)
It's stories like this that make me miss my grandma. Having enjoyed childhood before the days of internet, around early to mid-nineties, while my grandma and I did go outside, mostly, we'd go to arcades and a bowling alley; for books, I'd read both children's and science books, along with shopping catalogs from Sears, Montgomery Ward, and JCPenney. When I was a teenager, I wrote my own "lost episode" version of Three's Company at my grandma's house, making it my first, earliest official piece of writing—a path I went on to do as early as 2005, the year I graduated high school. Those days with grandma were wonderful, and this book is mindful of that.
Make this book a great reminder how sweet and admirable your grandma is/was with this book. Kids today will remember and love their grandma having this book read to them, or if they themselves were to read it. Again, it's kid-friendly, and something that kids will enjoy as they grow up. Highly recommended!
- A simple message about going outside and spending time with Grandma.
- Kid-friendly story, without any controversy or anything questionable.
- Drawings and illustrations are cute and memorable, enough to become its own animated show.
