Raves and Reviews
In this rousing follow-up to Bunny Will Not Smile! (2019), Big and Bunny prove themselves a playful pair. . . . The interactivity . . . will have broad appeal. Boundless fun.
– Kirkus Reviews, November 2020
This purple bunny drawn in a cartoon style has foot-stompin’ attitude . . . [Readers will] be thrilled when they’re invited to shake the book to help Bunny jump, and then flip a page back and forth where the stubborn rabbit is drawn in two different positions, animating Bunny. This is ideal material for those needing the same push of confidence that Big supplies Bunny. Simple concepts, flowing word choices, and the discovery that Bunny loves to jump will have children realizing they love to read. VERDICT Ready to read or ready to jump, this book encourages and rewards, and kids will demand an encore in every collection.
