Hana stands in the middle of her sunny kitchen, hugging her stuffed bunny close to her chest and smiling wide. She is barefoot on the black-and-white checkered floor, with the big wooden table beside her and colorful mixing bowls stacked on the counter behind her. In the background, bright yellow kitchen walls glow with warm sunlight streaming through a window.

Hana loved her kitchen. It had bright yellow walls and a big wooden table. It had a checkered floor that was perfect for dancing. And best of all, it had her favorite friend — a soft, floppy stuffed bunny.

Hana stands on the checkered floor looking down at her empty hands with wide, surprised eyes and her mouth open in a little 'oh!' shape. A small radio sits on the counter playing music, with little music notes floating in the air. In the background, the bright yellow kitchen walls and the big wooden table are visible.

Today was a special day. Today was Hana's kitchen dance party! She put on her favorite music. She wiggled her toes. But wait — where was Bunny?

Hana stands beside the big wooden table, bending slightly and peering across its surface with one hand resting on the table edge. The table is empty except for a napkin and a salt shaker. In the background, colorful mixing bowls are stacked on the counter against the bright yellow wall.

Hana looked all around. No Bunny on the table. No Bunny on the chair. "Where are you, Bunny?" she called. "I cannot dance without you!"

Hana stretches up on her tippy-toes, peeking over the big wooden table. On the table, the giggling spoon wiggles with a silly little smile on its face. Hana looks amused but a tiny bit disappointed. In the background, the bright yellow walls and a window with sunlight pouring in.

Hana looked OVER the table. She stretched up high on her tippy-toes. She peeked over the top. She saw a spoon. The spoon wiggled! The spoon giggled! "Hee hee hee!" But no Bunny was there.

Hana crouches down on the black-and-white checkered floor, peeking under a wooden chair with her hands flat on the ground. A crumb and a small blue button sit on the floor beneath the chair. In the background, the legs of the big wooden table and other wooden chairs are visible.

Hana looked UNDER the chairs. She got down low. She peeked under one chair. Then another. She found a crumb. She found a button. But no Bunny was there.

Hana stands at the kitchen counter, lifting the red mixing bowl with both hands. Behind the bowls, the ticklish oven mitt peeks out, looking silly and scrunched up as if being tickled. The blue bowl and green bowl sit nearby on the counter. In the background, the bright yellow kitchen wall and a shelf with jars.

Hana looked BEHIND the big mixing bowls. She moved the red bowl. She moved the blue bowl. She moved the green bowl. Something wiggled! It was a ticklish oven mitt! "That tickles!" it squeaked. But no Bunny was there.

Hana stands at a small shelf, carefully pulling apart two big colorful cookbooks with her fingers. A pressed leaf and a shiny gold star sticker peek out from between the books. In the background, the bright yellow wall and part of the kitchen counter with the colorful mixing bowls.

Hana looked BETWEEN the cookbooks. She squeezed her fingers between one book and another. She found a leaf. She found a sticker shaped like a star. But no Bunny was there.

Hana sits cross-legged on the black-and-white checkered floor, her chin resting in her hands, looking a little sad with her lower lip poking out. Her eyes are big and thoughtful. In the background, the big wooden table, chairs, and the sunny yellow kitchen walls surround her.

Hana sat down on the checkered floor. She felt a little sad. "I looked over the table," she said. "I looked under the chairs. I looked behind the bowls. I looked between the books. Where can Bunny be?"

Hana mid-twirl on the checkered floor, her arms spread wide, her eyes bright with excitement. She is looking toward the counter where the warm bread basket sits with a little bit of white fuzzy fabric peeking out from under the cloth napkin on top. In the background, the sunny yellow walls and the kitchen counter with the bread basket.

Then Hana had an idea. She had not looked INSIDE anything! She jumped up. She did one big twirl on the checkered floor. And she saw it — the warm bread basket on the counter! Something soft and white was poking out.

Hana stands at the counter, lifting a white cloth napkin from the bread basket with one hand, revealing her stuffed bunny nestled cozily inside. Hana's face is pure joy — a huge smile and sparkly eyes. The stuffed bunny looks soft, warm, and snuggly. In the background, the bright yellow wall and the colorful mixing bowls on the counter.

Hana ran to the basket. She lifted the soft cloth. And there was Bunny! INSIDE the bread basket! Bunny was cozy and warm. Bunny smelled like fresh toast. "There you are!" Hana laughed.

Hana hugs her stuffed bunny tightly against her cheek, squeezing with both arms. Her eyes are closed and she has the happiest smile. The bread basket sits open and empty on the counter beside her. In the background, the warm sunny kitchen with yellow walls and the window letting in golden light.

Hana scooped up Bunny and gave a big, warm squeeze. "You were INSIDE the basket!" she said. "I looked over, under, behind, and between. But you were inside all along, you silly Bunny!"

Hana dances joyfully across the black-and-white checkered floor, holding her stuffed bunny out in front of her like a dance partner. Her bare feet are mid-step, her hair swings with the motion. On the counter, the giggling spoon rattles and the ticklish oven mitt waves. Music notes float in the air from the small radio. In the background, the bright yellow kitchen walls glow warmly, and the big wooden table and colorful mixing bowls complete the cozy scene.

And then — it was time to dance! Hana held Bunny close. She twirled OVER the checkered squares. She dipped UNDER her own arm. She spun AROUND and AROUND. The giggling spoon clattered. The ticklish oven mitt waved. And Hana and Bunny danced happily across the kitchen floor. What a perfect dance party!
