A bunch of funny bunnies need to help Santa and save Christmas.
It’s the busiest day at the North Pole – Christmas Eve and the Chief Elf is in trouble as all the elves feel unwell from eating too many candy canes. It’s undoubtedly not Christmas that goes according to plan. But wait a minute outside, a group of ‘crazy’ bunnies are ready to join Santa on an epic journey from London, under the sea, in the jungle, visiting penguins in the igloo and even troubled squirrels in prison. A night full of hopping, jumping, and laughing with no time to waste: Bunnies in a sleigh!’. The trip finishes with treats to be shared, forgiveness and celebration after a job well done.
“Bunnies in a Sleigh” is a hilariously festive story told in rhyme, sparking young children’s imaginations for celebrating Christmas in a non-traditional way. Ben Mantle beautifully captures the magic of Christmas, adding to the fast-paced narrative that engages young readers and encourages them to appreciate diversity. It’s a charming choice for reading aloud, featuring the memorable refrain: “Bunnies in a sleigh! Bunnies in a sleigh!”
Prepare for a humorous, rhyming Christmas that celebrates tradition in a non-traditional way.
