The Teazles' baby bunny
£7.95
As an adoptive parent, how do you talk to your young child about being adopted? It is important for them to know about their background, but it can be hard to find words that are age appropriate.
The Teazles’ baby bunny is a colourful and charming book on adoption suitable for very young children (two to four years old). It tells the story of the Teazle rabbits and their adoption of a baby bunny, written in rhyme to make it easy for children to remember and repeat.
The book is accompanied by a set of guidelines for adults using the story, not only with children who have been adopted, but with any child, as an introduction to adoption.
This book is for adoptive parents who want to talk about adoption with their young adopted children, or those who wish to introduce adoption and different family structures to other children.

This is a delight to read to children whether or not you are involved with adoption. It is an excellent way of introducing small children to the idea of adoption and the idea of families being formed in different ways. It also reinforces to any child how precious they are to their parents. My small children love stories written in rhyme like this as they quickly learn the words and can fill in the gaps. I would recommend this to anyone with young children.

This is a wonderful book, It really helped us start the process of telling our three-year-old daughter that she is adopted, in a way that she could comprehend. The little booklet at the back was great too, explaining what a child's level of understanding is at certain ages. The great thing about the story is that it's so simple and charming it's easy to embellish it with your journey, making it personal and relevant to your family. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an adopted child, and I imagine it would be very helpful to those wanting to explain the concept of adoption to their birth children.

My little one loves this book and I have read it to her over and over again. Fantastic. Just the sort of story to begin telling her her own life journey.

This is a beautiful rhyming story that tells how Mummy and Daddy rabbit didn't have a baby and McBadger found them a baby. It tells of their joy and how they prepared their home ready to welcome their little one. It is told beautifully and it was lovely to find a book that tells the excitement of the parents waiting and preparing for their child. My three-year-old daughter loves this book and she now has a little bit more understanding that she was wanted by us and not just given to us. This has made a fantastic addition to our collection of books covering adoption for our daughter.
