Bunny's Staycation, written by Lori Richmond, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: Bunny is going to miss his Mama when she goes on a business trip. She explains to Bunny that she will be back in 5 days and that he and his Papa will have fun while she is away. Bunny goes to great lengths of imagination as to how he will keep his Mama from leaving. But she convinces him that he and Papa will have adventures. So, Bunny and Papa have a different adventure, at home, each day. Young children will get a laugh out of Bunny's creative thoughts on how to keep his Mama home. The fun illustrations show Bunny trying to stuff his Mama's suitcase in a mailbox, hide it behind plants, place it in a "time machine," flush it down the toilet and slingshot it away. Papa's ideas for home adventures will also be a hit with young children. Papa changes a cardboard box into a car and they travel to the tropics (the bathroom), a wintry wonderland (the kitchen), a safari (the lawn) and, finally to camp (the living room) for a special welcome home for Mama. The story is cute and has strong family vibes. The illustrations nicely complement the text. Recommended.
