Some books earn a permanent spot on the nightstand — not because they're instructional, but because a child asks for them again and again until the spine softens and the pages know which way to fall. Bunnies by the Bay Counting Peeps is that kind of book. It's a children's picture book built around a counting rhyme — one peep, two peep, three peep, four — that moves with enough rhythm to hold a toddler's attention and enough warmth to bring the day to a close. Wee Kiddo the Lamb and Roly Poly Peep Plush lead the counting, and if those characters look familiar, they should: they're the same figures that anchor the Bunnies by the Bay plush collection, which makes this an especially natural gift for a child who already sleeps with one.
The story is simple by design. Little lamb Kiddo discovers that leaping and peeping lead, eventually, to glad sleeping — a gentle arc that doubles as a reliable wind-down cue. Parents who read it as part of a nightly routine will recognize quickly what's happening: the repetition and the counting give a restless child something to follow, and the illustrations give them somewhere to look while they settle.
To keep this Bunnies by the Bay children's bedtime book in good condition, wipe the cover with a dry or very lightly dampened cloth if needed — avoid soaking the binding or leaving it in damp conditions. Store it upright or flat away from direct sunlight, which can fade the illustrated pages over time. For a gift, the book pairs cleanly alongside any piece from the Bunnies by the Bay plush line — the shared characters make the connection immediate, and the Counting Peeps picture book holds its own as a standalone gift for any toddler working through early numbers at bedtime.
