Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Bunny woke up to soft snow outside. The world looked shiny and white. Bunny put on his red scarf and hopped out. “What a jolly day!” said Bunny.

A little giggle came from behind a snowy bush. Out popped a tiny Christmas Elf with a twinkle in his eye. “Hello, Bunny!” said the Elf. “Let's have some fun!”

Bunny smiled. The Elf clapped his hands. Suddenly, all the carrots in Bunny's garden wore tiny hats. “Oh!” laughed Bunny. “Carrots with hats look funny!”

The Elf jumped to a snow pile. He made tiny snowballs and threw them up. The snowballs fell down like soft sprinkles. Bunny caught one on his nose. “Cold nose!” Bunny said, giggling.

Next, the Elf hid shiny bells in Bunny's basket. “Ring-a-ling!” went the basket. Bunny peeked inside. “Bells for me?” Bunny asked. “Yes!” said the Elf. “Christmas bells for a good friend.”

Bunny hopped around the tree. The Elf danced and sang. “Jingle jingle, hop and play, Christmas fun is here today!”

Bunny and the Elf made a snow bunny together. They gave it a scarf and a carrot nose. The Elf winked. “Best snow bunny ever!” said Bunny.

Soon, the sky turned pink and soft. Bunny yawned. The Elf smiled and gave Bunny a warm hug. “Thank you for the fun,” Bunny said.

It is nice to laugh and share gentle tricks with friends.
