Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

Part of Betty Bunny

Illustrated by Stephane Jorisch
Look inside
Meet Betty Bunny, a loveable handful nobunny can resist.
 
From author Michael B. Kaplan, creator of Disney’s T.V. show Dog with a Blog, comes the debut picture book of the Betty Bunny series. It's a story about patience—seen through the eyes of a precocious preschooler.
 
Betty Bunny is the youngest in her family of rabbits and she’s just discovering the important things in life, like chocolate cake. She declares, “I am going to marry chocolate cake” and takes a piece to school with her in her pocket. Mom values healthy eating and tells Betty Bunny she needs patience when it comes to dessert. But Betty Bunny doesn’t want patience, she wants chocolate cake! In this funny tribute to chocolate lovers (and picky eaters), Betty Bunny’s charming perspective on patience will be recognizable to anyone with a preschooler in their life.
Michael Kaplan is the author of the critically-acclaimed Betty Bunny series, creator of Dog With a Blog on the Disney Channel, and an Emmy award-winning television writer and producer. His career as a comedy writer has included stints on two of television's most respected comedies, Roseanne and Frasier. He cocreated and executive produced I'm In the Band for Disney XD. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. View titles by Michael Kaplan
Stéphane Jorisch has illustrated numerous picture books, including the critically acclaimed Betty Bunny series, New Year at the PierGranddad’s Fishing BuddyThe Real Story of Stone Soup, and Jabberwocky, for which he won the prestigious Governor General’s Award, the Canadian equivalent of the Caldecott. Mr. Jorisch lives with his wife and three children in Montreal, Canada. View titles by Stephane Jorisch
* “A spunky bunny girl, whimsical watercolor illustrations and a laugh-out-loud plot are the key ingredients for this sweet and satisfying treat of a story.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The illustrations in this book are created as beautiful watercolors and ink drawings that vividly support the storyline and enhance the humor of the text. This is a fun book for young readers."--Children's Literature 

"Readers will delight in feeling older and wiser than Betty, and both Jorisch (New Year at the Pier) and debut talent Kaplan demonstrate a sure handle on feisty modern family dynamics."--Publishers Weekly
