Superlapin

Simon le lapin

by Stéphanie Blake

Il était une fois un petit lapin qui se prenait pour Superlapin. Lorsque sa maman lui disait : « Que vas-tu faire aujourd'hui, mon petit lapin ? », il répondait : « Mais enfin, chère mère, je ne suis pas un petit lapin, je suis SUPERLAPIN ! Les Superlapins attrapent les méchants, vous le savez bien ! » Et le petit lapin - pardon, Superlapin -, dans son costume de Superlapin, partait chasser les méchants. Superlapin n'a peur de rien. Il peut sauter dans le creux d'un arbre, même s'il y fait très froid et très sombre. Même s'il y a un méchant armé d'une épée caché à l'intérieur. Un petit lapin, lui, a peur du noir quelquefois, et si une écharde s'est enfoncé dans son doigt, il a mal. Alors, quand on est Superlapin, mais quand même aussi un petit lapin, on a parfois un peu besoin de sa maman.

SUPER BUNNY TO THE RESCUE! But even Super Bunny needs mom to help him once in awhile. If you ever put a towel on as a cape when you were a kid you will love this book.

Review
I love this series, the little bunny is absolutely hysterical and very brave. Its also a great book that deals with fear and how we conquer our self doubts. Yes the story and illustrations are simplistic but that's part of its charm. I've read this to many children in the bookstore, where I work and they all love it.

Meh. I probably wouldn't even have picked this up (the art doesn't appeal to me personally), but I'm way behind on my reading for the year, so I'm binge-reading children's picture books to catch up.

Little bunny thinks he's Super Bunny, and he goes off to fight bad guys. When he finds a dark, empty hole in a tree, he hops in, because Super Bunny's not afraid of anything. Then he gets a splinter, runs home to his mommy, his mommy takes the splinter out, and he runs back out to catch bad guys. The end. I feel like I should just type #firstworldproblems and end this review here.

Did another reader really love this book? Because if you did, I would love for you to tell me what the appeal is! I can usually think of something that certain readers would like a book for, but I'm missing this one...

Un albo illustrato esilarante e pieno di energia! Super Bunny è un coniglietto convinto di avere superpoteri, e la sua fantasia travolgente rende la storia divertente e irresistibile per i più piccoli. Il testo semplice e le illustrazioni vivaci funzionano alla perfezione insieme.

Una lettura spassosa che celebra immaginazione, gioco e fiducia in sé stessi. Perfetto per far ridere e sognare.

For those who loved Simon, the cheeky rabbit in Stephanie Blake’s Poo Bum, this will be another fun read.

KAPOW!!! I’m Super Rabbit!

Simon bounces out of bed and goes off confidently to find some villains, followed by the little blue cat. However he shows his vulnerability when hiding in the hollow of a tree and he calls for Mummy, but then he proved he was very brave when a splinter had to be removed from his finger.

As the needle approached,
the little rabbit felt something new:
he felt fear and pain
And he did not like it.

This a very colourful book, with lots of words emphasised amongst the simple bold text. The bright, illustrations are expressive and lead to an opportunity for the reader to discuss that it is OK to be scared sometimes. A great read aloud.

Bipedal bunnies - like the horrors that hop into grocery stores around Easter - are a crime against all that is good and right in the world.

Clearly I'm not a huge fan of the illustrations.

The text, however, is pretty straight forward. Might work for a toddler storytime. Or superhero thing. Kinda tame but there's kids it will appeal too. Also, if you need to prep a kid for the whole splinter removal thing, this might be your book.

Cute story about make believe and playing superheroes. Drawings a bit primitive/simple. Confused by plot at one point: I thought Super Bunny was calling for mom because he was afraid of the dark but turned out he had a splinter.

Agree with other reviewer about splinter-removal-fears -- this might be great for a school nurse's office!

This low fantasy picture book follows a little bunny around as he pretends to be SUPER BUNNY. Themes of mother reliance and heroism are found throughout the story. My favorite part was when he realized that he was scared and hurt because he started to have some sort of self concept. I would use this in my future classroom to introduce the topic of fear and being bold despite being small.

Wordt nog niet benoemd als Simon Superkonijn, maar hij is het dus wel al! Onze kleuter is fan van hem en vond deze in ieder geval leuk. Simpel verhaal, simpele tekeningen. Maar wel leuk om eens samen te lezen.

Super Bunny heads out to stop bad guys, gets a splinter, and runs home crying to his mother. That's it. Maybe parents might think it's cute, but I can't see the appeal for kids.

Une lecture pour les tous petits. Pour que les enfants dès 3 ans deviennent des héros.
