A companion board book to Ben Loves Bear, Bella Loves Bunny shares the sweet story of friendship between a little girl and her beloved stuffed bunny rabbit, from morning till night.

Bella and Bunny do everything together. In the morning, they play piano and dance (and hop!). In the afternoon, Bella has lunch and Bunny has carrot cake. At night, they pick out Bella's favourite pyjamas and snuggle close until they fall asleep.

McPhail's simple text and heartwarming illustrations come together to make an irresistible book that young readers will fall in love with.
