Readers will fall in love with this heartwarming tale of love and family. Twitchy is a young bunny, living happily with his parents . . . who turn out to be a cow and a horse. When his own parents did not have the means to take care of him, they gave him to new parents who would be able to love him. This story fearlessly and poignantly deals with the issues of adoption, but more importantly, it points out its boundless rewards of love and acceptance. - Karen

Twitchy finds out that he's adopted.

I loved this book! I thought it had the perfect recipe for telling a story about adoption. Twitchy is a fun-loving, adorable young bunny. One day, he realizes his mom and dad don't really hop like he does. It's time for his parents to tell him -- they're not his real bunnymom and bunnypop. They're actually a cow and a horse. At first, Twitchy sees nothing but how they all have the same kind brown eyes, but eventually he realizes they're different species and he gets upset and runs off. His parents search and search for him, and right as they're coming home they find him in their "burrow," with a make-shift horse get-up on. They gently wipe the mud off of him and undo the clothespins on his ears and remind him that it doesn't matter what he looks like, or what they look like. What matters is that they love him, and he loves them, and it's that love that makes them a family. As someone who has had very personal experiences with adoption, I thought this book handled it very well. It was sweet and touching, and conveyed that wonderful message that your family is made up of people who love you unconditionally, even if they don't look like you. Not to mention, the illustrations were adorable! All in all, I loved this book.
