Rather odd, since they were only grumpy for about half of the book, yet they kept being called Grumpy Bunies!

[Brooke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Grumpy Bunnies is a beginners book that tells the story of a bunny’s day. The story goes throughout the whole day of a school aged bunny. The book rhymes and is good for new school aged children.

It's a cute story that follows a day in the life of a family of bunnies.

Story Time with Whitney basically.

You probably haven’t read Grumbly Bunnies, by Willie Welch and Tammie Lyon. I am guessing, of course: I don’t know if you’ve actually read it or not. But I imagine I’m right because — right now — the book is ranked 2,497,499th in sales rank on Amazon.

That’s a shame because it’s an absolutely brilliant book. Although the illustrations are great, and the message to kids (the day gets better) is important, what’s really spectacular is the absolute command of meter — it’s a true joy to read something aloud that goes like

Grumbly bunnies
in the morning,
crusty eyes and groggy yawns,
stumble bumbling in the closet,
struggle putting school clothes on.
If you have little kids, do yourself a favor and get this book.
