Bunnies in a Sleigh: A Crazy Christmas Story! cover

The Sunny Town bunnies are back for a third picture book adventure and this time ... it's on Santa's Sleigh!

With a jolly, rhyming text and hilarious, richly detailed illustrations, this is a perfect read-together Christmas gift, stocking stuffer, and Christmas Eve box filler for little children aged 2-5.


Ever wondered what would happen if Santa’s elves ate TOO MANY Candy Canes and Santa suddenly needed urgent help delivering all the gifts on Christmas Eve? Well, worry no longer because, arriving in style on a husky-led sleigh, the Sunny Town Bunnies are here to save Christmas! They will be Santa’s most adorable (and perhaps naughtiest) assistants.

Hopping into Santa’s sleigh, it’s a wild ride across the world with mischief and laugh-out-loud moments at every page turn. These bunnies are steering the reindeers, hopping in and out of chimneys, getting stuck in snow, stuffed in stockings, eating cookies non-stop and having the best time of their bunny lives!

It’s a wild sleigh-ride of a Christmas adventure and it’s SO MUCH FUN.

I strongly recommend this hilarious story. * The Letterpress Project *
This is another great book in the series following those vehicle loving bunnies… I love the detail in the illustrations, there are so many little things to spot in each image… The story and illustrations together make for such fun reading… it’s now my favourite in the series so far. * The Strawberry Post *
One read of this book and the rhyme will stick in your head forever… I laughed. I laughed the second time. And I can only imagine that young readers will have this book on repeat year in, year out. Ardagh gets the story spot on. * Book Murmuration *
