The Basic Details
From the Press Release:
When the contagiously enthusiastic Lizzy tells her classmates that she’s learning jump-jivin’ moves from bunnies, the children giggle at her over-active imagination. Feeling embarrassed and self-conscious, Lizzy decides she no longer wants to be laughed at.
Lizzy becomes an avid “non-believer” and ceases any further communication with animals. Naturally, the bunnies organize an intervention. These furry little creatures will not allow Lizzy’s fandango to falter, and they sure don’t want to lose a good friend.
You will find this a delightful 40-page book written for children 4-8 years old. I received a hardcover book with a dust cover of It’s Just a Bunnypalooza through Ascot Media Group. This is book three in the “it’s just a….” series, written by Brenda Faatz along with Peter Trimarco. Peter Trimarco doubles as the illustrator.
Learning more about It’s Just a Bunnypalooza
What’s not to love in a book with full colour images and a delightful young lady exploring her love of animals? She wants a talent to make her own and calls upon her animal friends for help. Chirpy Bird, Moose, Owl, hummingbird, squirrel, and opossums too. Everything was a bust, until… bunnies! Bunnies and their love of dance ignite a spark in Miss Lizzy’s heart!
Bunnies, just so you know, in THIS girls heart (me), always make everything right! 🙂
Throughout the lyrical text, you’ll discover all kinds of highlighted words. The rhyming, large print text makes it easy to read and share with a group of children. This book is so easy to read, and I love the heart shown. It’s a fun read, really!
Those highlighted words are explained in the bunny dance glossary. These terms come from all over the world, all related to the world of dance! It’s made me want to look up the Bharathanatyam dance of India. I’m trying to imagine a dance that looks like fire….
Using this picture book could be a fun introduction to learning about dance from around the world. What a great way to explore the cultures of other lands through the love of dance!
The colourful illustrations by Peter Trimarco bring the poignancy of this moment into full clarity. Such a sad young girl, but trust me… the bunnies find a way to work it out! How you might ask? You’ll have to read the story to find out! 🙂
Add it to your shelves?
It’s Just a Bunnypalooza is a fun book for children. A young lass having fun with bunnies, learning to dance, as the reader learns dance terms from around the world. The world around her seeks to change her outlook on life, and kinda succeeds, until.. the bunnies take action! Seeing those bunnies in action made my heart smile, and I can well imagine children smiling as well. In fact, I wish I had a child that I could share this heart-warming story with! 🙂
