Hey Rabbit! Picture Book by Sergio Ruzzier with Easter Basket {Review & Giveaway}

heyrabbit Header

Sergio Ruzzier, author of the children’s book, Amandina is back at it again.  His newest creation, Hey, Rabbit! is now hitting store shelves just in time for Easter! This sweet book tells the tale of Rabbit who is helping out all his friends with his amazing suitcase, delivering amazing and over the top surprises for a dog, toucan, bear, mouse, cat and crab. But what will Rabbit find for himself in his suitcase?

Hey Rabbit cover and illustration
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.

Hey Rabbit LucianCheck 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.

Hey Rabbit Basket & Illustration

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 for even less than that with free super saver shipping!
