About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a playful, argumentative mood or when you want to spark a conversation about how stories are constructed. Big Bunny is a delightfully meta experience that begins with two unseen characters arguing over the details of a story about a massive rabbit. It speaks to the power of imagination and the way children often want to take the steering wheel when being read to. While it looks like a simple animal tale, it is actually a philosophical exploration of perspective and narrative truth. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to understand that books are creations of the mind. Parents will appreciate the clever humor and the way the book encourages a child's natural tendency to question everything they see and hear.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. It touches on the concept of 'scary' things (a big bunny eating things), but it is handled with absurdist humor. There are no heavy real-world issues like death or divorce.
