Customer Rating: Summary: Don't judge a book by it's cover Comment: This book really doesn't look all that special on the outside, but it is a true gem on the inside! Set to the tune of Little Bunny Foo Foo it tells the story of a little karate chopping bunny intent on destroying the bamboo forrest with his kicks and chops. There is a nice subtle moral lesson here about respecting others and respecting the environment, but it's not heavy handed. The drawings are wonderful - simple and elegant asian-inspired b&w images that really capture the action of the story. My 4 year old LOVED it and as soon as the story was over she was hopping around the house singing the song and doing her own little karate chops. I'm really eagerly awaiting this author/illustrator's next book! Customer Rating: Summary: A buried treasure among great children's books Comment: Smart, relevant, well constructed, and beautifully versed, LITTLE BUNNY KING FU is an instant classic. It's glorious black and white illustrations are a big plus as well. The book is sure to set many young minds to thinking on a good path, reaching them by entertaining unforcefully. Reagan Johnson is a talent to watch for. Customer Rating: Summary: You and your kids will love this book. Comment: Giggle inducing story. Captivating artwork - ink drawings . Really clever book.

Little Bunny Kung Fu is a must have for your child or grandchild's library. I look forward to many more fine books by her. This book is pure delight for any age! Customer Rating: Summary: A rhyming children's picturebook with an underlying theme about respect for others and the environment Comment: Little Bunny Kung Fu is a rhyming children's picturebook with an underlying theme about respect for others and the environment. Little Bunny Kung Fu loves to practice martial arts among the bamboo, cutting stalks in half with his attacks and his throwing stars. But what are the creatures who eat, live in, or hide in the bamboo to do in the wake of Little Bunny Kung Fu's destruction? One by one they ask the bunny not to harm their bamboo; he disregards them all, until at last a visit from the Great Dragon sets Little Bunny Kung Fu straight. The black-and-white artwork, drawn with a Chinese theme - the Great Dragon is clearly an Asian dragon, and Little Bunny Kung Fu wears a traditional Chinese shirt - brims with enthusiasm in this delightful tale.
