Terrific tale about a bad(?) bunny

This a terrific book for the preschoolers as well as school-age kids. The large pages and bright colored illustrations are funny and attention-grabbing. This looks like a book that boys would love, but it's one of my daughter's absolute favorites. The ending is happy, with a redeemed bunny- Hooray!

Big Bad Bunny fans

My son can't get enough of this book. It's read every day several times a day. It's easy to see why as the text is very catchy and the illustrations are attractive. I've also used the story to talk to him about good and rude behaviour, and how the bunny changes into Quite Good Bunny at the end of the book. Even as I'm frequently rereading the book to him, it's still a hoot every time as it's funny. We're both hooked on Big Bad Bunny.

A classroom hit!

I bought this book not sure if the kids in my four and five year old preschool classroom would like it or not, but I took and chance. It turned out to be one of the better buys I have made this year. The kids would ask for it to be read time and time again. It was also a huge favorite for those kids who choose to read a story as their job during circle time. I finally had to retire the book we heard it so often and then brought it back for an end of the year treat, even then the kids were as enthralled with "Big Bad Bunny" as the first time they heard it.

The Phantom Footballer

The Phantom Footballer is written by Alan Duran and has many challenging words although I wouldn't recomend it to age 12 upwards. This book is about a family having to play the Muddington Colts in the Holt Nolan Football Challenge. The family are so worried about getting beat they don't want to put on some members of the family as they are under 10. Whilst all hopes down Dan and Sam find an old ball in the attic and take down to the shed to clean it and pump it up.When they were cleaning it they fell as if a genie was to come out of the ball so they start chanting and suddenly a ghostly figure apears. It turns out that the ghostly figure is one of their ancestors named Archibald Legg. As he builds up their confidence they agree to play and he agrees to coach the team.

Will Archie coach the team to victory or will they get humilliated? READ IT AND FIND OUT!!
