Review

Mama Bunny must go on a business trip and Bunny does not like it. At First, Bunny tries to hide Mama's suitcase, then Bunny tries to go along on the trip. Papa soon comes to the rescue as he comes up with a wonderfully creative staycation plan for he and Bunny. "I wish I could go somewhere little bunnies can go too," says Bunny. "Let's do it"s said Papa. "We'll leave in the morning. They pack the "car," and "travel" each day to a new destination. The day before Mama is due to arrive home, when Bunny is really missing Mama, Papa suggests that together they make a wlcome home sign for her. Bunny, however, has an even beter idea. Bunny begins to create one last very special adventure! A wonderful surprise for Mama. A wlcome home to "Mama Camp!"

This is a great story to read to children whose parents struggle with this very issue - a parent leaving on a business trip and unable to take their child along. A "springboard" book that just migth haelp a child to use his imagination, be creative and better enjoy his very own "staycation."

The illustrations are bright, bold and cartoon like. Engaging and fun to view.

Overall Book Score: very good
