 * Summary**:

"The Abc Bunny," is a great book for children learning the alphabet. It is great because for every letter given their is a word that starts off with the letter. The story flows and relates to the whole theme of the text about a little bunny who goes on a journey. The song written by Wag's sister is also great because after reading the book, you can play the song. The song is very catchy and will help the students learn the alphabet. It is a great book for a kindergarten classroom.
 * Review:**

Bringing this book into my future classroom will benefit the students. It will be another way to teach them the alphabet rather than just singing the ABC song. It is an exciting book about a bunny's journey from leaving Bunnytown and making his way back. It keeps the students interested and wondering if the bunny will make it back home. The use of the alphabet by using examples of words is another way for students to become familiar with words they may not know. This is a great book for beginners when learning the alphabet!
