Cover of the book My Bunny Lies Over the Ocean by Bill Richardson and Bill Pechet. The cover is colourful: blue, green, and cream with brownish highlights. The text looks handwritten and is decorated with hearts. A cartoonish picture of a bunny on a towel, enjoying a day at the beach, suggests the tone of the story to come.

#Reading today: a sweet little text: MY BUNNY LIES OVER THE OCEAN (Bill Richardson, text; Bill Pechet, images). When Bunny goes missing after a day at the beach, a team effort brings Bunny home. I enjoyed it; you will too!
