ABC ALPHABET BUNNIES

This is dedicated to Albert, a gentle man and wildlife protector who read passionately, and Max and Rich, my special bunny scouts.

An amazingly large and talented family of bunnies lived in the enchanted A to Z forest.  They loved their wooded home, but at times. . .

THEY YEARNED TO VISIT THE CITY--ALPHABET CITY.

Looking for fun and adventure, one day the Alphabet Bunnies packed their trusty little bags and set off for ALPHABET CITY.  Upon arriving they eagerly explored city life in their own unique ways.

ABIGAIL and ALVIN adored their roller blades.  Again and again they skated around Lake Agatha.

BERT biked quite happily on his own.

CLEO cleverly arranged bouquets of flowers.

DOROTHY dazzled folk with her cake decorating skills.

EMILY enjoyed quiet poetry readings.

FRED’S fascination was firehouses.  Fire station #5 was his favorite.

GINA gathered goods to sell.  Today’s specialty was ginger lemonade.

HARRIET’S hobby was hockey; she was happiest when hurling a puck.

ISABEL imagined a world of fashion.  Immediately she became a star.

JACK jogged to the library just in time; JUDY’S duty was about to end.

KIP kicked the ball confidently in the net; KEN was clearly confused.

LUCIE loved numbers; luckily the legion of bunnies liked her logic.

MARVIN’S main interest was carrots—munchy crunchy ones.

NANETTE noted new French words in her notebook; she was never happier.

OLIVER occupied his time with fishing, often sharing his catch with others.

ROSIE really loved dancing; she rarely went anywhere without her dance slippers.

SAM sprinted safely to the finish line as the crowd spurred him on.

TIP traveled on trails throughout the city; he never tired of trying new things.

ULLI’S uncommon interest was dog walking; his dog WOOFER led the way.

VANESSA volunteered to play her violin at the VIBS  (Very Important Bunnies Special) at Alphabet City Concert Hall.

WILLY’S wonderful portraits won widespread approval.

XAVIER’S extra effort paid off when it came to video games.

YOLANDA yelled excitedly as she breezed through the air in her yellow flying machine.

ZACK zipped along on his skateboard in his own zany way.

The time soon came for the Alphabet bunnies to return to their wooded home.  The townsfolk waved their sad goodbyes.  The Alphabet bunnies would surely miss them too, but the A to Z forest was their home.  And home is, after all, where THE HEART IS HOPPIEST.
