Description

This funny bunny read-aloud story is the perfect Easter basket treat.

Once upon a time, there was an Earth with NO chocolate! Crazy right?

But one day, a mysterious spaceship appears in the sky, captivating the children who witness it.

Where did it come from? Who lurks inside? What secrets does it hold?

The truth is uncovered when a crew of adorable chocolate bunnies emerges from the ship. The Earthlings are frightened, but little do they know… life is about to get a whole lot sweeter.

Children will be enchanted by the immersive, chocolaty space world created by illustrator Luis Peres. Captain Hop, First Mate Flop, and Skipper Flip lead the way on a journey beyond the big chocolate dipper, deep into the ooey gooey Milky Way.

The first of the Ooey Gooey Stories series, this irresistibly delicious story, is narrated by the charming, chocolate-loving, truth-stretching teller of tales, Ooey Gooey Looey, who hides throughout the book for even more interactive fun. And don’t forget to sing along with the Ooey Gooey Looey animated song video at BiffBamBooza.com.

Another gem from award-winning Biff Bam Booza Books. For children ages 4-8… and big kids like you!

A very cute book for Easter, for every kid to enjoy. My kindergartener, who loves bunnies and chocolate, really loved the story. It also made me hungry for chocolate!

Cute story with gorgeous illustrations. I think there could be more substance to the story, maybe having them stop at each planet which would help kids learn about the planets. As it is it’s a cute book for Easter.

A cute bunny tale about how chocolate came to Earth. Read with my 9 year old, who stated that they liked it as well. That started a conversation of where chocolate really came from and how it's made; the book provided a great bonus learning experience.
Bunnies and chocolate, it's an obvious win.

Did you ever wonder how chocolate came to be? Turns out it comes from a far away planet that was looking for a new home. This amazingly cute book would be perfect around Easter when a lot of chocolate bunnies are eaten. The pictures are brightly colored and will capture your little ones attention. A highly entertaining Story time .

This is an adorable story about chocolate bunnies in space suit. It is creatively done and I think the style of the illustrations. A good story just in time for Easter.

Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is an adorable story that would definitely be perfect for the bunny as well as chocolate lover in your life. It has beautiful art, and it has the perfect amount of humor. I think there were times when it went too long with the plot but overall, its one I can add for my speech students to read. Because of these points, I have to give this a 4 out of 5 stars.

Chocolate Space Bunnies is an absolutely adorable read - perfect read for a bunny lover, chocoholic or just as an addition to your little one's Easter basket! My chocolate loving 4 year old had lots of giggles and very much enjoyed the unique premise and beautiful illustrations. As a non-religious household, I love these kinds of stories that spark/talk about holiday traditions (ie eating chocolate bunnies!) without any biblical undertones.

Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for this ARC!

Totally nuts, choco-tastic fantasy - I can't wait to see my dreams after this!

I could see my son's eyes taking the scenes in, his imagination was racing, it was almost visible. And this was perfect timing as I've just introduced him to the book and film of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Chocolate planets! Chocolate houses! I had to eat a Salted Caramel Wispa after this to cope.

Ostensibly an 'origin' story of how we got chocolate (I can cancel the visit to Cadbury World then), it's all due to the rabbits on Planet Fondue and their rising global temperatures (climate problems affecting other galaxies too?), and their need to find a new home.

You can imagine how the story wends its way towards Earth. But for some reason, Earthlings aren't initially enamoured of the strange Fondulians and their brown sticky stuff (fools). Though it probably won't take them long to realise that just because they are different, doesn't mean they can't be friendly, and just because chocolate is different, that doesn't mean it's something to be wary of.

And so the legend is born. We loved the illustrations, as you can imagine. Scenes of chocolates raining down, it will go down well with almost any young reader.

With thanks to Netgalley for providing a sample reading copy.

This is an adorable account of how the world received the delicious gift of chocolate. All my children enjoyed the cute illustrations and story. They also enjoyed the hide and seek portion of the illustrations, and the coordinating QR code.

Thank you Netgalley for this advanced reader copy.

What a fun book with a wholesome story! The premise is so fun and engaging. I loved it! To me, the star of the show is the artwork. The illustrations in this book are absolutely GORGEOUS. Worth reading for the artwork alone.

This was such a fun read. It is such an original, whimsical and fun story that will also make you crave chocolate and that is accompanied by fun illustrations. I can just imagine dreaming of swimming in a chocolate fountain after reading this as a bedtime story.

An earth without chocolate?! Spare me from that kind of life! ;)
This book was unique, and very well-illustrated with a good message. I recommend this as an a Easter read.

A cute story about how chocolate came to Earth, this story would be best read in the spring around Easter. The way that it explains how chocolate bunnies (the kind we eat) was a cute tale.

My 3 and 5 year old boys LOVED Chocolate Space Bunnies. There is no chocolate on Earth - it is only found on the planet Fondue. Fondue is inhabited by bunnies. Everything there is made of sugar and chocolate, so it's a problem when the days started to become warmer. We follow along as the bunnies try and find a new place to live and eventually land on Earth. It's funny, entertaining, and my kids requested I read it more than once. We also really enjoyed the illustration.

This would be a great book for young readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for allowing me to be an early reader. All opinions are my own.
