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)

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!

Smart, relevant, well constructed, and beautifully versed, LITTLE BUNNY KING FU is an instant classic. It's glorious black and white illustrations are a big plus as well. The book is sure to set many young minds to thinking on a good path, reaching them by entertaining unforcefully. Reagan Johnson is a talent to watch for.

Giggle inducing story. Captivating artwork - ink drawings . Really clever book. This will make an excellent gift.

Regan Johnson is an incredible author and artist. Little Bunny Kung Fu is a must have for your child or grandchild's library. I look forward to many more fine books by her. This book is pure delight for any age!

Little Bunny Kung Fu is a rhyming children's picturebook with an underlying theme about respect for others and the environment. Little Bunny Kung Fu loves to practice martial arts among the bamboo, cutting stalks in half with his attacks and his throwing stars. But what are the creatures who eat, live in, or hide in the bamboo to do in the wake of Little Bunny Kung Fu's destruction? One by one they ask the bunny not to harm their bamboo; he disregards them all, until at last a visit from the Great Dragon sets Little Bunny Kung Fu straight. The black-and-white artwork, drawn with a Chinese theme - the Great Dragon is clearly an Asian dragon, and Little Bunny Kung Fu wears a traditional Chinese shirt - brims with enthusiasm in this delightful tale.
