Review: My Kids Love Hopsy!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have a three year old and an 18 month old who both sat on my lap (one on either leg) to listen to “a story about bunnies”. I love that this has pictures but the only thing is the pictures weren’t on the right pages. That may be a problem with just mine, I don’t know because my laptop was behaving weird that day. For example I read about the bear and found the bear and the fox on the next page which was talking about Hopsy meeting an owl. (My three year old just came to my ear to tell me he wanted to read it again.) The kids were still able to follow though the pictures weren’t on the same pages as the characters with my 3 year old pointing out the owl and pointing out the boar (mommy a pig) on the same page as well.Whew! That was a mouthful and I haven’t started talking about the book yet really. The storyline is all about how the Easter bunny came to be associated with colourful eggs and the book ends with a nice picture of the bunny hugging his eggs. It starts off with Hopsy as he wakes up in the morning and follows him through the day as he goes through the forest and back home to his parents. The story of his travel through the forest is told over and over again so that some of the details gets twisted which is what ends up with him having colourful eggs.This is a nice little story for kids who have an interest in electronic devices. My kids love books but I know some kids born into this e-world prefer their tablets and laptops. I read this to my kids on a laptop so I can imagine reading it on an e-reader or tablet could be a nicer experience for the kids.Bottom line – Great little story and I recommend it fully.
