5 comments about Home for a Bunny A Golden Lap Book.
- This is such a sweet little book! Probably not much past age 5, but the story has a bunny looking for a place to stay or a home of his own. He proceeds to ask everyone he meets if he can live with them and they all say no. However, when he meets a little white bunny, the bunny takes him in and they then live together. The last picture is just so sweet with the two bunnies snuggling together. The illustrations make you touch the page because the bunny looks so fuzzy! It is very much loved in our house and we highly recommend it!
- This book is such a sweet, cute book. I am 24 years old and still read it to my nieces every once in a while. I have grown up making my parents read me this book over and over again every night and day. My copy is worn out but it also shows how much I enjoyed it. I hope you decide to buy it and read it to your children they will love it!
- I purchased this book (my first "big" little golden book) and love the larger size and pictures. My two-year-old daughter loves this book and often picks it from her huge selection of books. A great sweet story to share. I'm now looking for more "big" little golden books to buy.
- A Home For A Bunny was my son's all-time favorite book. We read it over and over again. Now my son is nearly 27, and I still have the same book and read it to his 5-year-old-daughter, whom I am raising. It was her very first book and she demanded it be read every single night. We had fun using different voices and she especially liked the happy ending. She decided that the bunnies were a "Mommy Bunny and a Daddy Bunny", and would kiss them goodnight each time.
I highly recommend this book! I buy one every chance I get, whenever I know someone is going to have a baby.
- This book was first published in 1965 and, unlike so many other books, is still fresh and current. I wish that I had had it as a child, but I love it just the same. I did have many "Little Golden Books", and so many of them are classics (like the Saggy-Baggy Elephant, Little Red Hen, The Pokey Little Puppy, and so on), but none of them have the charm and lasting beauty of "Home for a Bunny".
I wasn't sure what a "Big Little Golden Book" was, but I was pleasantly surprised to see what a lovely hard-backed book it is! It is quite sturdy, with no golden "tape" on the spine that peels off in time like the little ones. The illustrations are gorgeous--so clear and vivid. I like how the pictures fill up the whole page, on each and every page, even the front and back plates. Garth Williams portrays a world in bloom at spring, and a shiny glint in each animal's eye.
Margaret Wise Brown's other "Best Seller", is, of course, "Good-Night Moon". This one is probably more well known. I read it too my boys (now grown) very often when they were small. It is also very engaging for little ones. Brown has a knack to really understand how their little minds work and what gives them pleasure in stories.
I originally bought this book for my niece, but after I saw how wonderful it was, I ordered several more copies which I am keeping on hand as a perfect gift for baby showers and such. I am glad to hear from you people who grew up with this great story, how lucky you are!

5 comments about Little Bunny Follows His Nose (Golden Scratch & Sniff Books).
- Cute story, cheap round stickers. Maybe they're there to help the child to know where to scrach but i'm sure there are better, less cheap-looking ways to do it.
- I remembered this book out-of-the-blue today after not seeing/smelling it for nearly 20 years. This book brought me so much joy as a kid and I loved the novelty of smelling all the different scents while reading the story; made it come alive. I remember the chocolate mint cookie (my favorite!), pine needles, jam, rose, and there were 2 more. I bought it for pure nostalgic value and look forward to sharing it with my friends and see if they remember it too!
- My daughter loves to smell everything like flowers, food, candles, soap - you name it. When I saw this book was a cute bunny story combined with 6 scratch and sniff stickers, I was sold. Unlike other reviewers I was never lucky enough to know the original book, so I can't say how much it's gone down hill since I was a child. All I can say is that for right now, not 30 years ago, this is one fantastic story.
The scents are all very strong, and they go great with the tale of a bunny spending the day outside "following his nose". My daughter can't get enough of this book. The first time I read it to her I think it blew her mind. She looked at me, smiled and said, "Daddy, why does this book smell good like food?" She made me read it back to back, then she held on to it smelling the pages as I read her other books. I've read it to her every night since.
The only thing that bothers me is that the whole "scratch-and-sniff" sticker and book concept seems so 80s now. It is hard to find any decent books or stickers since this "fad" is now a thing of the past. That is too bad, because this is something most adults still remember and cherish from their childhood.
- My son and husband love to read this sweet little story before bed and share the smells together. I'm not sure which one enjoys it more! I recommend this book to any child at any age!
- This was my daughter's favorite book. Her 5 year old daughter found it in the bookcase and loved it but none of the scents were left. I found it still in print at Amazon and it is now my granddaughter's favorite book. It is still really cute and smells just as good.
