Story overview

Jimmie the bunny wants to play but cannot find his red ball. He runs to a green bush and finds a bug and a stick, but no ball. He runs to a bumpy slide and finds a leaf and a stone, but no ball. Finally, he runs to the purple flowers and finds the red ball in the grass. Happy, he plays for a moment before getting tired, hugging his ball, and falling asleep on the soft grass.

Where is the bouncy red ball? Jimmie wiggles his pink nose. *Sniff, sniff.* Jimmie is a little bunny with big feet. *Thump, thump.* He wants to play! But where is the ball? He looks left. He looks right. No ball. Jimmie must run to find it. Ready, set, go!

Jimmie zooms to the big green bush. *Whoosh!* Is the ball under the bush? Jimmie peeks under the leaves. Peek-a-boo! He sees a tiny blue bug. He sees a brown stick. No red ball. Jimmie shakes his head. Not here. Jimmie is fast. He tries again.

Jimmie zooms to the bumpy slide.
