It's Better Being a Bunny

An Early Reader Book for Kids

Illustrated by Tim Bowers
Perfect for Easter or celebrating bunnies all year round. A charming follow-up to the classic Beginner Book It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny!

P.J. Funnybunny is back and more lovable than ever in this sweet, funny sequel. 

P.J. Funnybunny is not having a good day. His mom won't let him eat ice cream for breakfast. She won't let him hang upside down from a tree. She won't even let him watch a scary movie! P.J. visits Potts Pig, whose mom lets them do all those things. But when he gets a stomachache and has a bad dream, P.J. Funnybunny realizes that—while it's fun to be a pig—it's better being a bunny!

This new tale of self-discovery is the perfect Easter treat for beginning readers and bunny fans of all ages!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.
