Pat the Bunny

(c) Dorothy Kunhardt (c) Edith Kunhardt Davis

Pat the bunny has been known as baby's first gift for over 60 years. This pioneer in baby development started as no more than a special book that one mother created for her daughter.

In the late 1930's, Dorothy Kunhardt was already an established children's author when she started experimenting with adding interactive elements to a children's book. The results of those experiments was pat the bunny, a book that she wrote for her 3 year-old daughter, Edith.

The interactive elements of the book, bunny's fur, daddy's scratchy beard, smelling the flowers, looking in a mirror, peek-a-boo blanket, reading a miniature book, poking your finger through a die cut of mommy's ring and waving bye-bye have been the keys to its success. In fact, the original book was so successful that Edith Kunhardt, the inspiration for the original book, wrote three companions to the original, pat the cat in 1984, pat the puppy in 1991, and pat the pony in 1997. These books have also done well and continue in the same spirit as the original, with wonderful interactive features that teach and entertain children.
