Such a sweet story we haven’t read for a while. Bunny is one cute figure that sails on the wings of imagination which gives you great ideas on what to dream of in your upcoming sleep. the drawings make the story so vivid and beautiful to look at. It’s such a story you read to your son over and over again and it sounds after a few times like a song. we enjoy it!
