Most people want to travel to different places and have exciting adventures. But sometimes, our fears get in the way of doing what we love. Simon the Bunny Goes on Vacation is a story about a rabbit just like that. Written by Terri Dorow and featuring some colorful illustrations by Jenifer Novak, the book follows the story of two best friends, Simon the Bunny and Abby. Simon wants to travel to the beach, see the mountains, and roam the desert. But he is afraid of the big waves surfing in the ocean, of falling from the mountains while skiing, and terrified of the "prickly things" in the desert. Now it's up to Abby to allay her best friend's fears and support him so they can take the much-needed vacation they both want.

Simon the Bunny Goes on Vacation is a short, sweet adventure book for children. Author Terri Dorow tells a wholesome tale highlighting the importance of friendship and support in adversity. The most impressive aspect of the book for me was how Dorow could tell an engaging story with a powerful and poignant message in so few words. Jenifer Novak's beautifully drawn illustrations certainly help as they immerse you in the pages with a bright splash of colors that enhances the character traits of Simon and Abby. This is a great way to teach children how to support each other through the challenges they must overcome. I recommend Simon the Bunny Goes on Vacation to kids and parents alike!
