THERE'S A BUNNY IN YOUR BOOK
From the Who's in Your Book? series
by Tom Fletcher ; illustrated by Tom Fletcher
The latest in this uber-popular interactive series asks readers to help keep carrots out of the paws of a ravenous rabbit.
A rather annoying bunny has been chewing its way through this story; indeed, readers will notice bite marks on the pages. In order to satisfy Bunny’s hunger—and, presumably, save the book’s pages—readers are encouraged to find something for the voracious rabbit to eat. Look…a vegetable patch! But it belongs to blue-furred, pink-horned Monster, who’s put up a sign barring rabbits. No snacks there for Bunny. Monster needs help planting carrot seeds, watering and tending them, and even protecting the veggies from the rambunctious rabbit, who bounces back into the book at the most inconvenient moments. The unseen narrator urges youngsters to spin the book around in order to turn on a watering hose, clap their hands to scare off Bunny, tap the pages to harvest the carrots, and create a protective fence with their fingers. Eventually, Monster has a change of heart and gives Bunny a carrot, causing a transformation. As it turns out, this isn’t just any bunny; it’s one who delivers Easter eggs. This holiday-themed story follows a similar pattern to Fletcher’s previous books; readers will be entertained as they follow the unseen directions across the colorful pages to a charming conclusion.
A delectable Easter-themed treat.
