title: How to Be a Bigger Bunny
author: Florence Minor
description: PreS-Gr 2Tickles the bunny feels left out when her brothers and sisters scamper off to play and she is not invited to come along. Instead, she snuggles under a tree and reads various stories about bravery, resilience, agility, and cunning. As the day comes to a close, she hears a cry for help and finds her siblings stuck in a log. Because of the tales she's read, Tickles knows exactly how to rescue the other bunnies and saves the day. This is a multifaceted narrative, much like the stories that Tickles reads, and it offers many lessons. It invokes consideration and inclusion through Tickles's own discoveries while championing the power of books and reading, perhaps bordering on the edge of cramming too much into a small space. However, it is a valiant attempt and a positive, empowering selection for young readers. The gouache illustrations are simply stunning, with a bold, glowing yellow appearing throughout, visually relaying the warmth and strength of the book. VERDICT For classrooms and school libraries seeking to reinforce positive messages with young readers.Kaitlin Malixi, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA

  Big buns mean more fun.
  I know it’s true because I spent summers with my best friend and his
  sister as a teen. Kimmi and I shared enough laughs to make me
  realize, even then, that she was meant for me.
  But our family got in the way, and over the years I lost hope that I’d
  ever have a chance with my big booty cutie.
  Except now, her brother is married and finally minding his own
  business. Or at least distracted with his own love story. If I can get
  Kimmi to remember how good we can be together, I can win her. I
  know it.
  She thinks I don’t notice her.
  What she doesn’t realize is I’ve been dreaming of her lush curves. Of
  kissing that sweet grin from her lips. Of keeping her forever.
  I like buns, hun.
  After all these years, I’m going to show her who I really am:
  The man who can handle all that junk in her trunk… and her tender
  heart.
