Book: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming
Farmer vs. rabbits and rabbits always win!
Song: "Little Cabin in the Wood"
Little cabin in the wood.
Little old man by the window stood.
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door.
Help me, help me, help he said,
Before the farmer bops my head.
Little rabbit come inside,
Warm up by the fire.

Book: Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake by Michael B. Kaplan
A fun story about patience and CHOCOLATE CAKE!
Song: "Did You Ever See a Bunny" (Tune: "Did You Ever See a Lassie")
Did you ever see a bunny, bunny, a bunny?
Did you ever see a bunny that hops so slow?
He hops, and hops, and hops, and hops.
Did you ever see a bunny who hops so slow?

Book: Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds
Jasper Rabbit starts seeing carrots everywhere he goes and finds himself scared at every turn. A fun twist at the end makes this a fun read-aloud as long as the kids can see the humor and don't get scared of carrots.
Flannel Board:
Hippity-hop, hippity-hay
Five little bunnies went out to play.
Hippity hop, hippity-hay
One little bunny hopped away.
...continue until
Hippity-hop, hippity-hay
No more bunnies are playing today.
Hippity-hop, hippity-hay
I hope they come back another day!

Oh it's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)
