Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-- Little Rabbit Foo Foo hops through the forest, picking up various creatures--field mice, wriggly worms, tigers, and goblins--and bopping them on the head with his red mallet. The Good Fairy warns him to stop, but finally turns him into a goon. This slightly retold version of a popular children's song has a lot of energy; unfortunately, Rosen includes neither music nor even a preface to let readers know that the tune is the same as "Down by the Railroad." The illustrations are bright, cheerful, and clearly detailed, if somewhat reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. Amusing, but not an essential purchase--acting out the song is still more fun than reading it aloud. --JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA

4.0 out of 5 stars Naughty little rabbit., January 9, 2000

By	Tanya J. Tuckerman "ttucker649" (Usa) - See all my reviews

This is one of the funniest books I have read as a child and that I read to my children. It is about a rabbit whole boops animals on the head and is given three chances by the goo fairy to change. If he doesnt he gets turned into a goonie. Well little nauty rabbit foo foo doesnt listen and ends up being a goonie. Great pictures and theme that can be played like a song.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest children's book ever, April 5, 1998

By A Customer

If you don't like this book you have no sense of humor :) The expressions on Little Rabbit Foo Foo's evil face are hysterical. Despite repeated warnings from the Good Fairy to change his attitude or be turned into a "goonie" Little Rabbit Foo Foo remains irrepressibly naughty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all ages, March 4, 2008

By	M. Briggs "4 Kids" (Burbank, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book long ago from Scholastic. I have raised 4 children to this book. We enjoy fun sounds and storyplay along with the traditional rhythm. I brought this book into our elementary school's read-along and even the older children enjoyed the story. The last time I shared this book with a 5th grade class, the story (and song) lasted over a week during lunch and recess, with many 5th graders from other classes enjoying the 'good fairy' as well. Many children today don't get to go to summer camp and learn the old tunes we grew up with. I find myself looking to buy another copy because our old paperback can only last so long! I highly recommend this book.
