What fun. This board book tells a giant story in few words. Playing with your food and eating are sometimes the same things. Bunny tells this story well.

My kids love this book!

They find this book funny and hilarious. A mixture of reality and fantasy was a really good way to tell the kids not to play with their food.

Looking forward to other books!

This was super cute! The art is just adorable, I loved the illustrations. The text is imaginative and fun- Bunny has been given a carrot by it's mother, and is having all kinds of fun playing pretend ("Space Hero Bunny battles the evil Zorks in their Carrotship," for example. Mother interrupts his play to admonish him- "Bunny! Don't play with your food!" -to no avail. When the carrot is finally eaten, Bunny doesn't know what to do, he wants to keep playing. Fortunately, Bunny the Pirate comes to the rescue- "Aarrr! Motherrr! I must be having anotherrr carrot!" This would be a fun storytime book- it's short and not too wordy, the different scenarios are perfect for doing fun voices, the pictures are bold and colorful, and kids can relate to being told not to play with their food. Loved it!

I loved the illustrations in this book- adorable. Bunny becomes a dinosaur, a pirate, and lots of other things throughout the book all while eating his carrot. This is a fun book to read to children who might also play with their food while eating it.

Perfect for little ones with big imaginations! Nice picture book with a simple story, but felt like it kinda lacked a conclusion and was a little short. Overall a super sweet book that I think even for older toddlers could help facilitate some fun conversations about imagination and open-ended play.

This was a very cute and entertaining book. The scenarios that the bunny was making up in their head were very imaginative. The illustrations were great and I think this would be an enjoyable book for young children.

I read this book with a 5 year old. He was borderline not interested at all. Definitely a book for pre K with large pictures, easy to see. Short This book was provided by Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I love this little book!
Bunny plays with his food and uses his imagination to think up different things, like being a dinosaur munching the treetops and being a zombie.

I am a huge fan of children’s books and this one has potential, however, falls slightly short for me.

The illustrations were striking and I enjoyed the balance between Bunny’s reality and where a little bit of his imagination led him.

The transition from reality to imagination and back did not feel seamless, more of a rocky road. The tale may have benefited from slightly different verbiage, or additional verbiage to support these transitions.

Overall, the book was a cute, enjoyable children’s tale, however, left an impression the book’s overall messaging will get lost and would have been more impactful if there was more functional transition from the “real world” to the world of make believe.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me an advance copy (ARC) of this book in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read this story and leave my review voluntarily.

There was something immensely entertaining about this story. I think kids will respond well to the imagination of Bunny and parents will like that the focus of snack time is a vegetable.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is about a bunny with a wild imagination and what he's eating.

A cute, super short book for young children. The illustrations are adorable and the phrases are short chunks to keep attention of the littles. All in all, a good addition to a bookshelf.

Cute book which I imagine would be really fun to read out loud to or along with young readers. There are points in the book when you can make voices like zombie or pirate. Simple, straight forward story.

Oh my goodness- this book was SO MUCH FUN to read to my son. If anyone has a kid that gets a complete kick out of having stories read to them with many funny voices, then this is definitely a book to add to your shelf. While you’re making your kid crack up, you’ll also be giving him/her fun ideas that may encourage them to eat! This one is a winner.

The illustrations in this book are brilliant! I loved the character and the message it portrays.

I had to read it twice to get the gist of the story but think my 2 year old would like it.

I would definitely look out for further titles by this author.

A funny story about not playing with your food while letting the bunny play with food.

Not sure it's getting the right message across but it's a funny book.

An amusing little book in which a bunny rabbit is told to eat his snack (a carrot of course) and turns it into a game. Is he going to be a vampire? A zombie? A wolf? With his imagination (and his mom telling him just to eat the thing) he has a blast with snack time.

Well, the pictures are cute, I like that it shows the rabbit eat a healthy snack and that he finishes it. The games are pretty harmless and don't really cause a problem with the rabbit eating. I know I sound like such a dad in this review, but as someone who has a daughter who takes a long time with meals, I would have given an instant one star if the rabbit had just goofed off the entire time without finishing it as I don't encourage that lesson for any children. Instead it takes the much preferred method of making eating at least slightly fun and encouraging the child to still focus on their meal.

My daughter really enjoyed it (especially the zombie bunny pages) and found it hilarious. It's a cute story, but very short. 3/5 stars

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this ARC.

This was a cute, simple book about a bunny who was using his imagination at meal time. I thought all the different characters he pretended to be were adorable; they reminded me of all the things my son pretends to be! The illustrations were simple, yet attractive. I loved the simple color palette as it wasn't overwhelming for young readers. I felt this story and its illustrations were unique compared to the other children's books I've read.

What I didn't like? It was just too short. So much more could have been done with this book because the idea was so cute! Maybe add a few more vegetables; bunnies love vegetables! Furthermore, there was nothing about this book that made me think, "WOW! I MUST HAVE THIS FOR OUR HOME LIBRARY!" While the premise was cute, it just wasn't enough to make me want to purchase it or recommend others purchase it. It would be cute to read at a library, though!
