Bunny Slopes

By Claudia Rueda

Time to tackle the bunny slope! Shake to help Bunny make it snow, tilt to help Bunny ski down the slope, and turn to help Bunny escape a cliff in his path. Is there any obstacle Bunny can’t conquer? Bringing grins and guffaws with each turn of the page, readers will find Claudia Rueda’s innovative bookmaking as entertaining as the twists and turns of a ski slope—and as satisfying as a cozy cup of hot cocoa.

This interactive winter book can be used in speech therapy to encourage students to follow simple action verbs to help the bunny on his/her skiing adventure. It is also great for illustration studying with wordless pages encouraging students to describe what happened or what is happening!
