Such a cute book! We have all been Judgy Bunny at some point in our lives — everything is too overstimulating and we’re just in a bad mood. But with a little bit of patience and kindness even the most judgy of Judgy Bunnies can learn to have fun!

Description

From the bestselling author of Attack of the Underwear Dragon comes the hilarious picture book introduction to Judgy Bunny, who thinks every new experience is THE WORST. Especially if she wasn't invited. Or if she might not be good at it. Or if it just looks awesome... er, terrible, that is.

For this judgy bunny, nothing's worse than a day at the beach. The sun? Too bright. That view of the blue sky and gleaming sand? Awful. Sand castles? Ugh. Ice cream? Yucky.

Yep. Everything is TERRIBLE. It has to be, right? There's no way she could EVER have a good time. Not with the inexplicably friendly bunny who's offered to fly kites with her, or the ice cream cone that possibly isn't a flavor she detests, or boogie boarding, which she actually... isn't bad at??! Okay. MAYBE it's fun. But she'll be the judge of that.

Praise for Judgy Bunny and the Terrible Beach

"Bunny's grumpiness is played for laughs...this will be a great addition to your storytime stacks." — Youth Services Book Review

"A lighthearted reminder to challenge assumptions and be open to new experiences." — Kirkus Reviews

"Rothman comically channels the voice of someone who can’t see a specific situation’s sunny side, while digital cartooning by Hunter depicts a landscape full of cheerful beachgoers." — Publishers Weekly

"Picture books seldom get more entertaining than this." — School Library Journal

"The message to find joy where you can is couched by sardonic humor and buoyant art, limiting a didactic moral to the story." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
