When my daughter was young she owned many stuffed animals, two of them were her favorites, one named Sunshine Bunny and another named Pink Bunny. This is a collection of stories about Floppy Ears that I started writing for her when she was about 3 years old. The originals had hand drawn pictures as well. Each story is short and simple, hopefully with a positive or fun message. It allowed me to read her one or two before bed in the evening. Many of the ideas came from the things she would do and say with her own stuffed animals. Some of these are the original stories without the pictures which were written over 20 years ago, some are newer that I added just for fun. This collection my not fit in any of the categories but if you have a kid, they might enjoy listening to them. The idea is to get them thinking, whether it is about a word they don't understand or how they would handle the situation. Have fun with it.
