About the author
Marilyn Sadler
67 books48 followersWith a degree in fine arts, Marilyn Sadler assumed she would be an illustrator. But when early in her career she was presented with an opportunity to write, she seized it and quickly discovered that she had found her true love. No sad, sappy stories for her, however. She likes to make herself laugh, and with that her characters usually end up looking pretty silly for one reason or another.
Her first children’s book featured a fastidious little English boy named Alistair Grittle and was originally created for the English publisher, Hamish Hamilton, as well as for Simon & Schuster in the United States. Having created a boy with such perfect behavior, she then turned her attention to a not so perfectly behaved little boy. His name was P.J. Funnybunny, and he has existed in a series of books for Random House, including the highly prestigious Dr. Seuss Cat In the Hat series.
Marilyn’s television credits include two PBS Reading Rainbow programs featuring Alistair, an Alistair program for the BBC, three ABC Weekend Specials featuring P.J. Funnybunny, and a show based on her children’s book, "Elizabeth and Larry", for Showtime’s Shelley Duvall’s Bedtime Stories.
Between 1999 and 2004, The Disney Channel produced three Original Movies based on her book, "Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century". Each of Disney’s Zenon movies had exceptionally high ratings, with Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century and Zenon the Zequel among the highest rated shows in the history of The Disney Channel.
In 2004, Playhouse Disney began production on Marilyn and Roger Bollen's animated series, Handy Manny. Handy Manny premiered September 16, 2006, as the highest rated Playhouse Disney series premiere of all time. In 2009, Marilyn was nominated for an Emmy Award as Executive Producer of Handy Manny.

My kids got this book as a gift years ago. While others in the series were entertaining, this one just made me angry. It hearkens back to the antiquated notion that boys show affection by being jerks. So, Honey Bunny learns that her brother isn't really being horrible, but that his mean-spirited antics are just his (completely twisted) way of showing that he loves her. Nice message that.
Fortunately, most kids are plenty smart, and one book won't shape their entire world view. But taken as a small part of a larger screwed-up gender divide, I think this book is embarrassing and should be retired.

Worst book for kids or anyone that I have ever read. A true abomination of a book. Morally AND artistically reprehensible.

Honestly, if there were a way to give this book a 0 rating on this format I would have done so.
This is a HORRIBLE book to give to or read to a child!
It sends a completely unhealthy, dysfunctional, and co-dependent message.
What it does do is perfectly describe an untreated alcoholic, or otherwise dyfunstional, co-dependent home.
If you are a child or young adult and are reading this book, especially if you are a girl, DO NOT believe the message of this book. It is NOT okay to give OR accept love expressed through abuse, harrassment, mistreatment, or belittling.
If you find yourself in this home, seek out Alateen.
If you are an adult and like, or relate to this book, go to Alanon, Adult Children of Alcoholics, or another 12 step program and GET HELP!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT read this book to your children!
The cycle of abuse MUST stop!!!
All I can say to the author is, "Shame on you Ms. Sadler!"

A book with a very damaging message. Don't read this to your children.

I've read several of the "Honey Bunny" books in this series and this was the worst one so far unless you like books that encourage an older sibling to do mean things to their younger sibling.

Honey Bunny is tormented by her older brother P.J.
Honey Bunny’s older brother bullies her day and night and damages her possessions. When he paints her face while she is sleeping, their permissive parents finally decide to step in. They send him to his room. Thanks to this tepid punishment, he stops doing things like messing up her clothing, throwing food on her, and putting her baby blanket in the freezer.
Strangely, the lack of aggressive and out-of-line interaction upsets Honey Bunny, and when her brother resumes harassing her by once again painting her face while she is asleep, Honey happily declares that her brother loves her.
I found this story totally appalling. It reinforces the myth that males/boys show affection through acts of aggression and mean-spirited trickery. Unacceptable behavior is not a sign of love and affection, and seeing it represented as such is harmful to young readers who are being enculturated and may now conflate mistreatment with love. This misconception should not be normalized, justified, or perpetuated.

brother's wild behavior doesn't set best example for little buggers...but otherwise this book is a rhyme-y story about a girl teased by her brother...until he stops...or does he!?

February 20, 2020NO RATING!
I have no idea how to rate this book, if I am being perfectly honest.
Honey Bunny Funnybunny is technically a reread for me. This was one of my favorite books as a child; I asked my dad to read it to me so much, the binding is almost falling apart. I completely forgot about it until I needed an easy reader for an assignment in my children's literature class and I found it on the shelves my brother and I keep our childhood books.
When I scanned this book into my Goodreads app, I happened to glance at the reviews and saw a surprising amount of negative ones. While I understand people's feelings towards the boy bunny expressing his love to his sister by teasing her, anyone who has had a sibling, especially if your younger sibling was a little shit like mine was, Honey Bunny Funnybunny might resonate with you, in a certain way. And, to the book's credit, the parents do punish the older brother when his behavior goes too far. Up until that point, it is all stupid kid stuff.
And, despite what many of you reviewers might think, my brother and I have a healthy adult relationship now. Because we got it all out as kids.

I purchased this as an “add to cart” impulse buy while buying things online for my daughter’s Easter basket. I didn’t read it until today, which was clearly a mistake. I’m not sure what message the author was trying to convey here but the main character is “pranked” by her brother. He eventually comes into her room while she’s sleeping and paints on her face. This was the last straw for her so she tells her parents what he’d been doing to her. His “pranks” stop. She realizes she misses his pranks. Once he pranks her while she’s sleeping again, which mom chuckles about, she is able to feel loved again. In fact, MOM is the one who tells the daughter her brother does love her when chuckling about him drawing on her face (yet again) while she’s sleeping. This was published in 1997…how?

I don't know if I've ever been this disappointed in a children's book. I understand that yes, siblings do tend to tease and pick on one another (I have 2 siblings and I have 2 children who get after each other). But having his sister be sad thinking that her brother doesn't love her anymore because he's treating her right is WRONG. People don't feel upset when they are respected, and we should not be teaching or even suggesting to kids that this is normal.

Cannot bring myself to read the real version of this story to my daughter. She loves the book, but I change the words so that PJ behaves better and respects Honey Bunny’s boundaries.

Just not the message you want to see in a kids book
December 14, 2015
Honey Bunny Funnybunny is the story of the Funnybunny siblings: a sweet little girl and her douchebag of an older brother, who torments her by ruining her toys and clothes, smashing carrots on her head, and drawing on her face at night while she's sleeping. One day, the parents tell the brother that he's gone too far. He's a "bad bunny," they tell him. So the brother stops tormenting his sister. In fact, he stops talking to her at all. He ignores her completely. The sister enjoys the peace at first, but after a while she becomes lonely and wants the attention again--any type of attention, apparently, including the abusive attention she used to receive. At the end of the book, she wakes up to discover that her brother has nocturnally stolen into her room once more and drawn all over her face. She immediately runs to her brother and gives him a hug. He looks on, baffled.
My two small children were not the right audience for this book. Before reading Honey Bunny Funnybunny to my 4-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, they got along awesomely. Immediately after I read this book to them (and this was the last time I ever didn't screen a book before reading it to my kids), my son started acting like a jerk to my daughter. My daughter may have taken away the intended lesson that whenever your brother teases you, it means he loves you. But my son seemed to have learned that if he's not being mean to his sister, he's not properly expressing his affection for her.

I really can't stand this book. I hate that we picked it up from the library and I hate that my son loves it. This is a story about a bunny with a bully for a brother and uninvolved parents. When he crosses 'the line' by painting her face in her sleep, their parents send him to his room and that makes him stop stop pranking (and acknowledging) her. Suddenly her life is empty and she feels unloved because her brother isn't smashing carrots on her head or putting her blanket in the freezer. ???????
Finally she cries to her mom that brother doesn't love her anymore, her mother smiles (?!?) and leads her to the mirror where we see that her face was painted in her sleep. Which makes her happy. Because her brother loves her.
WHAT?!
This book is just not for me or my kids.

I bought this book for my daughter because I thought I remembered it from when I was a kid. The absolute WORST book to ever read a child. Honestly, the publisher/author needs therapy. The message of the book is basically telling kids that abuse equals love.
The brother teases the sister until she can’t stand it and then disappears making her think he doesn’t love her. The MOTHER comes in and tells her the brother does indeed love her - proof in the form of another prank/joke/tease/mistreatment.
I threw the book in the trash. Because that’s what it is: trash.

I didn't like this book. I don't like the concept that girls liked being teased or treated badly or having their possessions treated badly. Nor do I like the concept that teasing in the only way boys can connect with girls. I think it's time to grow past that idea. Girls and boys can treat each other kindly and with respect and can be great friends!

October 19, 2021I cannot say enough how much I hate this book. The moral of the story is that you know people love you if they are mean to you. What a lesson to teach young children. Literally my least favorite children's book of all time.
This sends a terrible message to both your daughters AND your sons about how they should be treated and how they should treat the ones they love, respectively. So gross.

You know pathetic it seems when girls desperately want bad boys to notice them?
Imagine they took that feeling and put it in a children's book. And the female who would rather be tortured than ignored is the sister of the mischievous bunny.
WTF.

This book is literally teaching children that abuse is okay and it means someone loves you. Disgusting book. Honey bunny has Stockholm syndrome and the book is promoting a relationship between her and her abuser.

Our second Funnybunny book. Now I want them all. My kids just LOVE them! Fun to read, cute, and has a fun ending!

I don't remember owning a lot of children's books growing up because our family utilized the library for our entertainment needs, so when I saw Honey Bunny FunnyBunny and A Fly Went By in a BOGO 50% off sale, then I realized I needed to purchase them for my hypothetical grandchildren.
I actually read one of these already, A Fly Went By, because of a talented individual who rapped the entire book. It immediately got my attention and I wanted to know what happened to the boy and other animals so I purchased a hard copy.
However, this is a Dr. Seuss book as it is stamped on the cover, but both books have authors just working with his stamp of approval. Seuss is problematic to me so I didn't want to attach myself to him, but I sorta did.
As for Honey Bunny FunnyBunny, I didn't really know it was about big brother bunny being mean-spirited, ugly, and horrible toward his younger sister. Mind you, I'm an older/oldest sibling and I fought with my baby sister. However, our agitation never went this far. I think kids will enjoy the story, but will not really understand the ramifications of what it means to only feel love if someone bullies, abuses, or hits you--that is manipulative and very disrespectful. Once P.J. FunnyBunny is scolded by his parents, I don't see remorse or any act of behavior changing. In fact, Honey Bunny thinks she is wronged and unloved because her brother is giving her the silent treatment. Again, manipulation. It's not until her face is drawn on again that she believes her brother does love her. I'm not even sure if it was the brother because I think the mother did it so her son doesn't have to be accountable for his excessive bullying and teasing. The real problem here are the parents because this is ridiculous.
I probably wouldn't read this to my grandchildren because I don't want them equating love with teasing, bullying, and manipulation.

December 14, 2019Honey Bunny Funnybunny was my absolute favorite book growing up. It deals with the issues of being a younger sibling and that you often get picked on by your older sibling. After Honey's parents punished her older brother for doing all these mean things to Honey he stopped. When PJ stopped doing mean things to Honey she was happy, but only for a day. After that day was up she started looking for PJ's pranks on her but they weren't there. Honey went and cried to her mom that her brother didn't love her anymore because he was ignoring her. What Honey didn't know was that PJ had drawn all over her face when she went to sleep and when her mother showed her her face in the mirror, instead of crying like she usually would have she was over joyed because that confirmed that her brother did in fact still love her. This deals with the complex relationship that often occurs between siblings, especially close in age. Its a beautiful reminder that just because a sibling is mean to you sometimes, doesn't mean that they don't still love you and that maybe that is how they show their love because they don't actually know how to show it any other way yet. This book is great for all ages, the illustrations are fun and easy to understand, the story is easy for even young children to understand and great for families to read together.

Thank goodness I got this for like only $1 at a thrift store... and I have a hate-love relationship with it... but mostly hate. The story, meh. Whatever, it's a kid's book. I think it's meant to be more about teasing, but it's actually normalizes abuse. Unfortunately my 5 and 3 year olds love it. I still read it to them BUT we interrupt the story and say things like "oh, that's not a nice way to treat someone who we're supposed to love." or "look at the brother victim-blaming his sister because he was mad for getting in trouble for him painting on her face." and "how would you feel if someone dumped food on your head?" I actually wrote IN this book the different forms of abuse it displays.
I will continue to read this book to my children because they've decided they love it- but I only read it including my commentary so at least my kids might be able to grow up recognizing the abuse, be able to put words to it, and know that it wasn't the at all the victims fault- the parents should have done more to protect her from the brother, and the brother just should just not be a D-bag. If it were written the way I actually use it to teach, 5 stars- but as is, zero stars. Stop normalizing abuse.

Honey bunny funny bunny is a picture book made for a younger children audience. It follows a young girl bunny named honey bunny who gets pranks pulled on her by her older brother. At first she hated the pranks but when her brother was reprimanded by their parents, she realized that she missed the pranks because that how her brother showed love towards her. This book deserves its rating because for me, it hits home with my relationship with my closest in age older brother Derrick. The illustrations in this book reminds me of those in popular books such as Cat in the Hat, Green eggs and Ham, and other written by Dr. Seuss. The plot of the story depicts the theme well and progresses nicely as Honey Bunny misses her older brothers actions. The book itself is a bright pink color with Honey bunny on the front cover and throughout the story features bright colors in paint, fur, and clothes. I would incorporate this story into my classroom. It would be a perfect opportunity for students to learn of relationships with family and how to treat each other nicely. I would ask my students were Pj funny Bunny’s actions toward Honey Bunny nice and how would they treat their siblings.

We picked up Honey Bunny Funnybunny because we’ve enjoyed other P.J. Funnybunny books, which we felt carried positive messages about self-acceptance and being happy with who you are. So I wasn’t expecting this.
The book portrays P.J. Funnybunny’s pranks and mild bullying of his sister as a sign of “love,” and when he is scolded by his parents and stops, he swings to the other extreme by ignoring her completely. Instead of feeling relief, Honey Bunny misses the bullying and assumes her brother no longer loves her. It isn’t until he starts teasing her again that she feels his love return.
This story seems to reinforce the outdated and damaging notion that “boys will be boys”—that boys pick on girls because they “like them.” This idea trivializes harmful behaviors and this narrative is far too similar to the toxic relationship patterns that many women and girls experience later in life. It subtly reinforces the idea that mistreatment equals affection and that being ignored is a punishment for wanting kindness. These are not the lessons I want my daughter to absorb.

A cute book for beginning readers, one we could probably all relate to. Honey Bunny Funnybuny has a brother, P.J. Funnybunny and he likes to tease her and pull pranks. For example, he pulls the blankets off her in the morning, puts orange juice in her cereal, and switches the blue and yellow paints. After a few jokes, she gets mad and tells her dad, who scolds P.J. From that moment on, he doesn't pull any pranks. He doesn't even talk to Honey Bunny. She begins to feel lonely and actually misses her brother's constant picking on her. She finally breaks down and tells her mother that P.J. doesn't love her any more, but her mother begs her to think again. She takes H.B. into the bathroom, only to find P.J. had painted her face, just like before. She was so happy her brother was back to normal.
This was a fun book meant for kids. The illustrations were basic but accompanied the text well. I didn't love it, nor did I dislike it. It will probably be in my library for my beginner readers.
