We recently released, Beatrice the Sunbeam Bunny Where Are All the Bees – a magical illustrated story about Beatrice a much loved, threadbare and saggy toy rabbit, that's until the sunbeam transforms her into a bright furry yellow bunny. We thought we'd take a closer look at bunnies and you may even learn something you didn't know before!

  • You may have heard that bunnies breed a lot, but did you know that a female bunny can actually produce 8 litters per year? And that the largest litter ever produced consisted of 24 babies?
  • Bunnies are great at running and they can reach speeds of 40mph.
  • Bunnies are actually born completely furless and they might not open their eyes until two weeks after birth. 
  • The oldest bunny in the world is recorded at 16 years old! Their life span is normally 8 or 9 years.
  • Bunnies have ears that can grow over 10cm! That is some long ears.
