The little bunnies had been naughty and everyone was tired. Mama Bunny told her little bunnies that none of that mattered because she will love her bunnies no matter what. After the bunnies were put to bed, Mama Bunny sat exhausted on the couch until Grandpa Bunny came over and told Mama that when a papa loves a bunny, he still loves her when she's grown and has bunnies of her own.
The illustrations present a busy family in a cozy atmosphere. The childlike actions and emotions displayed by the bunnies will be familiar to most children as they examine the pictures. The dainty drawings were done in a pastel palette with lots of white background, reflecting the mood and simplicity of the story. From the soft illustrations to the tone of text, there is an overall sense of gentleness. However, while children will understand the message of mother's love, the grandfather's tender feelings for his daughter may be a bit beyond their ken.
The story gives me goosebumps. It is a story of enduring love and unconditional love.
