This sounds like lots of fun, and led to a fun beginner knitting project. I made three baby bunnies for him. Each is a little different, and I put three birth certificates in the package, so he can name the bunnies.
Perfect, they are not, but they are kind of cute.
Bunny Behinds:
Turned sidewise they look like fish with ears.
Each bunny is done in a different kind of stitch. In the picture above, you can see the detail of the stitching.
Left: Stockinette Stitch (aka stocking stitch). Center: Garter Stitch. Right: Seed Stitch.
Below: another detailed view of the knit stitches.
I had to have some fun with the bunnies before I sent them on their way to my grandson.

The original pattern is found in the book "Knitted Toy Tales: Irresistible characters for all ages" by Laura Long, published by David and Charles.
Mine don't look much like the originals,
which can be found on Amazon.com
I like them anyway.

they are very cute and I love the way the tails match the insides of the ears
