My papa used to read this to me when I was a child, and then I apparently grew out of it for a while. I remember coming home from high school during finals week, exhausted. Dad saw me sigh and said, "Well, you're home for a bunny. You can relax now." Memories flooded me and we scrambled to find the book. Now, I've made it a tradition that when a family member or friend is expecting their first child, I give them a copy of this book. It's all about a little bunny(baby)coming home, isn't it? And when I was looking to buy my own first home...well, that's another story.
The writing is sweet and the illustrations charming. Highly recommended. It's a keeper, for sure.
A Home for a Bunny Forever!

Now at 25 years old I am in the process of living in a new place and finding a new home. I cannot help but recite in my head over and over the words of Margret Wise Brown as the Bunny. A home for a bunny, a home of his own.... My father read this story to me every night before bed as a child and I cannot wait to share its lessons with my future children. I know I will forever remember what it taught me! The beautiful illustrations, the catchy rhymes, and the wonderful moral of the story! A treasure~

What a dear, sweet book. There are very few books I read as a child that I read again for the next generation, but I think we're on the THIRD copy of "Home For a Bunny" because it's read (and slept with) so often.
The illustrations are glorious - simple but colorful - they tell the story but don't get in its way. This helps the book work for children as young as 1 1/2 and as old as 5. The book is "only" about a bunny looking for a home and all the homes and friends he meets while he's looking. But isn't that what we're all doing - trying to find a safe, warm and happy place?
