From Good Housekeeping Magazine:
A delightful story about how rabbits, bear cubs, wrens and other animals playfully start their day makes for a sweet read over breakfast. Eight durable elements, including a wheel and pull tabs, add a hands-on component for toddlers.
Ages 0 – 3
Tester Note: “My girls learned a lot about nature from Sunrise Dance, which is saying a lot because we’re very into nature!” said a mom of three.

From Redbook: “Durable interactive components, like a wheel to turn and tabs to pull, make this quiet story about how animals start their day a nice way to begin yours, too.”
