Toddlers will giggle when the cover's animal face wiggles! It's Little Bunny, whose ears wiggle when he's happily digging up carrots. Bunny is one of four sturdy Wiggle-Waggles board books. Each shows a cheerful animal's face on its front cover, which is constructed of layered board sections. The faces present a 3D effect, but the feature that makes them really unique is the way that they wiggle. Toddlers will also like to touch the furry or downy patches on Bunny's, Kitten's, Duck's and Puppy's faces. The humorous stories told inside the books are in verse, and the illustrations are every bit as bright and colorful as the faces on the covers.
