BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
P.J. Funnybunny steps into a new role—not as the one trying to fit in, but as a coach for his little sister, Honey Bunny. Instead of the typical rivalry often found in children’s media, P.J.’ gives loud, prideful support of his sister.
As part of the Beginner Books series, Sadler’s text is sparse and easy to read, with vocabulary that is cleverly reinforced by Tim Bowers’ bright, cheerful illustrations. Sadler asks a simple but profound question: Is winning the most important thing, or is it the person who helped you get there?. The ending is joyous and touching, moving beyond the sports theme to celebrate family ties. It is a perfect Easter treat or gift for any child starting their first sport or learning to be a big sibling themselves.
