The stories about the Bunny Berry family were originally told by the author to her children and grandchildren. It was published and distributed by Covenant Books, a Christian owned and operated business for self-publishing.
The illustrations are colorful, but basic. The author tries to turn every sentence into a rhyme which results in some awkwardness in sentence structure and wording. In my opinion, the stories are too long for this style to work well. The length of the stories may also exceed the attention span of many children in the 4–8-year-old range for whom it is intended. It is definitely a book to read to and with your youngsters.
That being said, the author does try to inject some Christian lessons into the life of her characters, and this could be helpful in starting discussions about prayer, honesty, and kindness to others.
VERDICT: 2 STARS. This is a wonderful family treasure, but not of much value or interest to others.
