My mom used to read me a book in the early 1950’s which told the story of a bunny who disobeyed his mother and fell into a hole in the woods–eventually rescued, he learned his lesson. The distinctive thing about the book was that the illustrations were photos of real bunnies dressed up in human clothing–for some reason, I think the photographer’s first name was ‘Bill’, but not certain about that. Any help greatly appreciated.

New format, same book stumper solving.
A few you might look at:
Three Little Bunnies by Ruth Dixon, with photos of real bunnies in clothes by Dale Rook. A Rand McNalley Elf Book from 1950. Bunny “children” are Hippy, Hoppy, and Maximilian.
Four Little Bunnies by Ruth Dixon, with photos of real bunnies in clothes by Harry Whittier Frees. A Rand McNalley Book from 1935. An Easter book, featuring bunny “children” Muff, Fluff, Puff, and Algernon.
The Story of Bill Bunny, another Rand McNalley Book from 1937, featuring more photos of real bunnies in clothes by Harry Whittier Frees.
I haven’t actually read any of these, but the dates and artwork match your criteria. Hope this helps!
