What could be worse than bopping field mice?,
By Lily Kapp "wildviolet" (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Bunny Kung Fu (Hardcover)
Remember the camp song, "Little Bunny Foo-Foo, hopping through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head."?
Well, Little Bunny Kung Fu doesn't torment furry little creatures but he does go around destroying bamboo with his kung fu moves. He is warned by Panda, Monkey, and Tigress..and then Great Dragon comes down. This charming story illustrated with intriguing black and white photos is a perfect way to teach your child how to care for the environment and respect other creatures. Kids who are involved in martial arts programs will especially get a kick out of this book. (Pun intended)

Don't judge a book by it's cover,

This review is from: Little Bunny Kung Fu (Hardcover)
This book really doesn't look all that special on the outside, but it is a true gem on the inside! Set to the tune of Little Bunny Foo Foo it tells the story of a little karate chopping bunny intent on destroying the bamboo forrest with his kicks and chops. There is a nice subtle moral lesson here about respecting others and respecting the environment, but it's not heavy handed. The drawings are wonderful - simple and elegant asian-inspired b&w images that really capture the action of the story. My 4 year old LOVED it and as soon as the story was over she was hopping around the house singing the song and doing her own little karate chops. I'm really eagerly awaiting this author/illustrator's next book!
