Her stuffed rabbit – Bonnie B Bunny is in her arms . Lori is greeted by talking birds. She says to her toy bunny. “The birds can talk”. Lori is shocked when Bonnie B. Bunny answers her, “thats because we are in a magical land and they are magical birds. OH BONNIE YOU CAN TALK TOO” Lori exclaimed.
“Yes isn’t it wonderful” she answered as she jumped out of Lori’s arms and excitedly started hopping about , tripping on her long ears in the process. “Come on Lori, lets go explore she said impatiently.
They discovered this to be a land of animals dancing and swaying to music emanating from a pink piano playing on its own and a land where children frolicked with the animas and shared a picnic with princesses.
Lori and her mischievous rabbit had wonderful adventures here. They shared a lunch with an indigenous princess, floated on the backs off swans , climbed a rainbow, met the man on the moon while floating on a cloud.
But not all was wonderful .Bonnie B,Bunny wandered close to the edge of the cloud to see if she could see the CN Tower. Lori shouted “Be careful or you will….”
Alas it was too late Lori’s beloved rabbit fell off the cloud on to another cloud travelling swiftly in the opposite direction. “Come back Bonnie Come back’ Lori cried hysterically.
Would Lori ever be reunited with her beloved bunny, and how would they get home???
