Bunny – Inspired by Lulu

(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique) 

 

Bunny and Fawn are back, embarking on an exciting adventure to solve a great mystery: what creature lurks in the forest? Put your thinking caps on and join them on this thrilling journey!

The story begins by giving readers a recap of The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn, explaining how the friends came to live close to a brown bear named Bear. The three animals loved being neighbors. The drawing of Bear playfully tossing Bunny into the water was both cute and funny, and so was the one where Bear tossed the “creature” into the water, too.

The creature’s identity was a great mystery. I had an idea of what it was going to be before opening the book, but I was in for a surprise. Have your child or class guess its identity and see if their guess is correct. Ask your audience if they have heard of the mysterious creature’s name before, and then explain its meaning. It’s not a simple, common name like ‘Bunny’ and ‘Bear.’ (No spoilers.)

The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn beautifully illustrate why it is crucial not to make assumptions about someone. Instead of judging someone by how they look, take a moment to get to know them. You might learn something new or even make a new friend!

Join Bunny, Fawn, and Bear as they embark on a quest to discover who left the hoof prints, made the strange noises, and also had glowed like a flashlight in the night. Laugh as you watch Bear poke his head out from a fall-colored tree top and see Bunny holding tight to Fawn’s neck as they poke their heads out from the middle of a bush.

Great mystery. Funny illustrations. This story is sure to be a hit with family and educators. It did have a couple of hard-to-read spots, but other than that, it was picture-perfect and very entertaining.

Recommended reading age is 3 to 8 years.
