A rhyming children's picturebook with an underlying theme about respect for others and the environme

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.

What could be worse than bopping field mice?

Remember the camp song, "Little Bunny Foo-Foo, hopping through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head."? Well, Little Bunny Kung Fu doesn't torment furry little creatures but he does go around destroying bamboo with his kung fu moves. He is warned by Panda, Monkey, and Tigress..and then Great Dragon comes down. This charming story illustrated with intriguing black and white photos is a perfect way to teach your child how to care for the environment and respect other creatures. Kids who are involved in martial arts programs will especially get a kick out of this book. (Pun intended)
