5/25/2023 0 Comments Pat the bunny authorThe style has been so enduringly popular that ‘90s publicists have been know to refer to the late Dorothy Kunhardt, author of “Pat the Bunny,” as the originator of the “interactive children’s book.” Whole generations have cooed as they imitated characters Paul and Judy lifting a piece of blue cloth in a game of peekaboo, peering into a miniature mirror, touching Daddy’s scratchy beard (actually a piece of sandpaper) and putting a finger through Mommy’s (cardboard) ring. After more than 50 years in print, “Pat the Bunny” continues to be an important development touchstone, so to speak, that babies are people too. This may seem neurotic, but this isn’t just any book.

For a lot of new parents, the first sign of intelligent life comes when the baby-heretofore a drooling blob-lifts its teeny-weeny finger and lightly touches a furry bunny.
