My take:

Caroline is a small girl who is shopping with her mom when she sees some stuffed animals. She leaves the store without purchasing anything. The bunny feels very sad she didn’t get picked and wonders if she never will. A few days later (on her birthday) they return and she chooses out her gift. The stuffed bunny. She names her bunny Audrey. Caroline and Audrey play together. Audrey keeps trying to cover up a flaw in her. Caroline takes her to show and tell and is proud of the bunny’s flaw and tells the class that is what made her special and that is why she was chosen. Audrey Bunny feels so excited and loved that she doesn’t have to try and hide her flaw anymore.

This book was a fun heartfelt read. As I read it aloud to my children I could see that the pictures held their attention and they paid attention to the storyline.

What makes this book extra special is the moral of the story, which is that everyone and everything deserves to be loved. Just because you’re different doesn’t mean you’re not special. You can be special for the very reason you are different.

In the back of the book is a parent connection. This is where suggestions are given to take the moral of the story further.
