Go Bunnies Go!

My 3 year old son loves this book. The story is easy to follow and has that repetitive style that small children love. The battle between the sneeky bunnies and Mr McGreely is great, and builds to a very amusing ending. I have read this story every night now for the past 3 months and I am sure that I will be reading it for at least another 3 - Muncha, Muncha, Muncha!

Kid's don't like veggies??

This is our sons' favorite book right now!! I read it to their pre-school class one day and had the kids act out the MUNCHA MUNCHA MUNCHA with me. We all loved it! It is an interesting tale with great illustrations. It's a great way to get kids excited about eating vegetables that they might not like to try otherwise. Highly recomended by our 6 year old, and our two four year olds. Awesome!

This is our favorite book

Both my 1 1/2 year old and 4 year old love this book. The love to yell "muncha, muncha, muncha" as the bunnies raid Mr. McGreeley's garden. We laugh as each method he tries becomes more elaborate. The easy words and repetition makes this fun for toddlers too.

wonderful book!

This book is wonderful--even my 2 1/2 year old loves it. He follows the location of the bunnies, names all of the vegetables, and tracks how determined Mr. McGreely gets with each page. Chanting "muncha, muncha, muncha!" is truly contagious, and having the suprise sharing of the vegetable crop is a nice end to the book. The illustrations are amusing. This is definitely a good one to purchase for your child's library.

Who's Got the Veggies.....

"For years Mr. McGreely dreamed of planting a garden. He dreamed of getting his hands dirty, of growing yummy vegetables, and of gobbling them all up..." This was finally the year. He bought his supplies, and got to work preparing his garden and planting his seeds. "...I'll soon fill my tummy with crisp, fresh veggies." Unfortunately, he was not the only vegetable lover in the neighborhood. That night three hungry bunnies found Mr McGreely's garden and made themselves at home. "Tippy- Tippy- Tippy, Pat! Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!" The next morning, when Mr McGreely saw the damage, he was angry. So he built a nice wire fence around his garden to keep the bunnies out. But would this simple solution work..... Candace Fleming has written a wonderful chain of events story with a clever and surprising twist at the end, that's sure to keep little ones giggling with each page turn. Her delightful text, full of energy and marvelous sound effects, is enhanced by Brian Karas' bold, expressive, and humorous artwork. Youngsters will revel in all the fun as they watch the battle between gardener and bunnies escalate to the ridiculous, from simple, small wire fence, to taller wooden fence, to moat, and finally maximun security tower complete with barbed wire and lights. Perfect for kids 3-7, Muncha, Muncha, Muncha is a rip roarin', manic, crowd pleaser, and a picture book children will beg to read over and over again.
