Spring is Sprouting Up and Out! ~from Breezy Bunnies, by Margie Blumberg

In the garden with Breezy Bunnies

Flowers blooming, baby animals, sunny weather, and some showers. Spring is here, and as always, we like to celebrate with a picture book. Margie Blumberg’s Breezy Bunnies, the first of a seasonal series, is the newest release from PicPocket Books. This endearing rhyming tale is a delight from start to finish.

The iPhone book is filled with audio surprises. Make sure to touch the squirrels in the tree, the pigeons under the bench in the rain, and the cuckoo clock on the wall. How many interactive spots can you discover?

Listen to the cuckoo clock chime in the app!

Download the Breezy Bunnies application from iTunes and enjoy it this Spring.
