During the day, Oh So Tiny Bunny is very, very small. But at night, he dreams of being big--as big as a dragon, or even a mountain! At first, that's fine, but then he feels lonely. There's no one to share it with. Are there no other bunnies so big as him?
Every small child dreams of the day they will grow up to be big, but in this book David Kirk reminds us that sometimes . . . it's not so bad being small.

Dazzling eye candy with a good lesson
By J.Prather
Oh So is a tiny bunny with a big imagination! Anyone familiar with David Kirk's work with Miss Spider will quickly recognize these illustrations. The colors are so vibrant they are almost painful. That is only if you are an adult. If you're a kid, then it's like candy for the eyes, and kids will want to eat this up in one bite. From purple turtles to carrots "as big as railroad cars", the imagery is off the charts in its creativity, truly portraying a land of dreams where this one tiny bunny can be as big as he wants to be. All kids will be able to relate to the desire to be as "big as a dragon" and when they see Oh so's big eyes sparkling on the page - and believe me they are huge - they will fall right under his spell.Oh So Tiny Bunny is solid story time choice for its spare text and bright illustrations. It's a short tale that will easily hold the attention of even young toddlers. It's a nice lesson when Oh So learns that it's okay to be small when you have a friend to play with. The read aloud flow is not the smoothest, but you don't often see such a lesson delivered in such a compact package that is so dazzling to the eye. A good choice for any toddler or preschooler's personal collection and a must have for story time.

By T. Murrell
Oh So Tiny is a very tiny bunny. But his dreams do not match his little body. They are big and colorful dreams. He dreams that he is as big as trees and mountains. Everything in Oh So's dreams are huge. But Oh So is still very lonely. He searches and searches for a friend, but his dreams are empty of friends. As he wakes up he finds something that is small, but better than his dreams. The illustrations are very imaginative and colorful. Each page is filled with scenes from the character's dreams. Children will love the creative story and pictures that compliment it. It is a great start to fueling a child's imagination. The type is large enough and the vocabulary is simple enough that early readers might also be able to read the story themselves. Both of my children loved this story and have asked me to read it to them repeatedly.I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.

Imagination and friendship
By Madigan McGillicuddy
Tiny Bunny is surreal and overly cute. He dreams of all kinds of things (making friends with a dragon, being larger than a forest) but then he gets super lonely. Luckily, he awakes to find himself in the company of another bunny. Bright digital illustrations have a glossy sheen. This picture book is sure to be an Easter tie-in favorite, for the colorful bunny cover alone. This would also pair well with other books about making friends. There are other gentler bunny friendship books out there that I prefer to this one: The Golden Egg Book by Margaret Wise Brown or Forever Friends by Carin Berger, for example.
