The ABC Bunny is a classic children's book written and illustrated by Wanda Gág. It's an alphabet book, which means it helps young readers learn their ABCs in a fun way. What makes this book special is that Wanda Gág drew all the pictures herself in black and white. Her brother, Howard Gág, carefully hand-lettered all the words.
Even more, Wanda's sister, Flavia Gág, composed a special "ABC Song" just for the book. The music notes for this song are included right there in the pages! This book was first created by Wanda for one of her nephews. In 1934, The ABC Bunny received a Newbery Honor. This award is given to books that are considered outstanding contributions to American children's literature. It was the last picture book to earn a Newbery Honor until 1972, making it quite unique!
Discover Bunny's Amazing Adventure
The story of The ABC Bunny is told using a fun, rhyming style that's easy to read aloud. It follows the journey of a little bunny.
What Happens to Bunny?
The story begins when Bunny has a small accident involving an apple. This event causes Bunny to leave its home in "Bunnyland" and travel to a new place called "Elsewhere."
Bunny's Alphabet Journey
As Bunny travels, each letter of the alphabet is featured in its adventure. For example, the letter "G" might be for a "Gale" (a strong wind) that Bunny experiences. The letter "I" could be for an "Insect" Bunny meets along the way. This clever way of telling the story helps readers learn each letter as they follow Bunny's exciting trip.
