Sergio Ruzzier, author of the children’s book, Amandina
Written and illustrated by Ruzzier, this tale contains a repetitive Hey Rabbit! with the introduction of each character. Telling the story more through pictures than words, Ruzzier engages children and allows even the most distracted child to stay still long enough to finish the story. My three year old son Lucian caught on quickly and was reciting, “Hey Rabbit!” along with me before we were done. He loved looking at the illustrations and describing what Rabbit pulled out of his suitcase for his friends.
Check out the Hey Rabbit! book trailer and this fun Hey Rabbit! online drawing activity which allows you to create your own masterpieces emerging from Rabbit’s suitcase.
Now for the exciting part. I have an adorable Easter basket to give away which includes a hardcover copy of Hey Rabbit!, an original signed ink and watercolor framed drawing of Rabbit from the book, a Lindt chocolate bunny and of course some Easter eggs.
Buy it: Hey Rabbit! is a great alternative to traditional Easter books as it features an adorable rabbit yet is not written around an Easter theme. Perfect for year round enjoyment, this hardcover book retails for $16.99 but can be purchased on Amazon
{ Giveaway }
I have the amazing basket featured above worth $295 to give away to one of my very lucky readers.

I would like to win because I love sharing books with my preschool classroom.
I’d like to win because this would be a great boost for my son’s spirits. He was valedictorian of his high school, but 1 1/2 years later, he’s got some kind of mental problem that nobody can diagnose and it’s looking like he might be dropping out of college. He could really use something cute like this!

I would LOVE to win this for my 16 month old son. He adores books and, frankly, I’m getting tired of reading A Porcupine Named Fluffy (his current favorite) four times a day. It would be great to throw a new book into the mix.
