Bunnies in a sleigh!
Laughing and a-joking
as they head for Christmas Day!

The Sunny Town bunnies are back for a third picture book adventure, and it might just be their best one yet! It’s Christmas Eve, and candy canes have mysteriously appeared all over Santa’s workshop, causing a disastrous outbreak of tummy illness in the elves. Luckily, our gang of vehicle-loving bunnies has come to the rescue! Cue chaos at every turn—hopping in and out of chimneys, getting stuck in snow, stuffing themselves in stockings, and having the time of their lives on Santa’s sleigh. It may be a wild Christmas, but it’s so much fun!
