Summary
Meet P。 J。 Funnybunny in this humorous and touching Beginner Book by Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen。 It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny tells the “tail” of P。J。 and his quest to become something other than what he is。 Is it more fun to be a bear， a bird， or a pig？ Read along as P。J。 tries to determine who he is—and where he belongs。
Originally created by Dr。 Seuss， Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves， with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning。
"Sick of being a bunny， P。 J。 Funnybunny takes off to become a bear。 Hibernation gets dull， so he tries being a bird。 And so it goes， with beavers， pigs， possums， and skunks--till P。 J。 realizes that bunnyhood is for him。 The short， repeating text is ideal for beginners and the bright， humorous cartoons will get immediate attention。"-- School Library Journal。

5 stars。Ok ok so my childhood nostalgia is coming into play here just a little， but here me out， it is still a really great picture book。 It's funny and the message is about loving who you are。 What's not to like about that。I'm sure most of us have been in PJ's predicament， where he wants to be someone other than who he is。This book also reminds me of that 1994 movie， North。 （https://www。imdb。com/title/tt0110687/）I hadn't realised that there were so many books in this series。 I only ever had the 5 stars。Ok ok so my childhood nostalgia is coming into play here just a little， but here me out， it is still a really great picture book。 It's funny and the message is about loving who you are。 What's not to like about that。I'm sure most of us have been in PJ's predicament， where he wants to be someone other than who he is。This book also reminds me of that 1994 movie， North。 （https://www。imdb。com/title/tt0110687/）I hadn't realised that there were so many books in this series。 I only ever had the first two growing up so I'm looking forward to tracking down the rest。 。。。more

I remember loving this one as a kid and I am so glad I picked it up again to read to the grankids。 They laughed everytime P。J。 Funnybunny choose to be someone else and loved trying to guess what would come next。The message to "be yourself" is one that is never to early to learn。 This book will be a regular in our rotation。 I remember loving this one as a kid and I am so glad I picked it up again to read to the grankids。 They laughed everytime P。J。 Funnybunny choose to be someone else and loved trying to guess what would come next。The message to "be yourself" is one that is never to early to learn。 This book will be a regular in our rotation。 。。。more

This book appeared on the USA Today Bestseller list this year。 The bunny runs away to fit in with other animals because their lives look better。 Only to discover that his life as a bunny is the best after all 。。。。 even if you have to eat cooked carrots。

I must have been asked to read and re-read this hundreds of times at bedtime。 A much loved favorite of my 4 year old reading buddy。 :-） What would it be like to be something other than a bunny？

From the annals of the Dr Seuss-iverse， Marilyn Sadler has come up with a character whose misadventures will feel all too real or all too familiar to reading addicts: PJ Funnybunny， and yes， he's a funny looking bunny， but don't tell him that。 He doesn't like being in bunny form， and would rather be a bear， or a pig， or even （God spare me！） a skunk！ Will PJ find out in time that it's best to be yourself？。。。。which sounds like hundreds of kids books we've read before。 It's a lesson as old as the L From the annals of the Dr Seuss-iverse， Marilyn Sadler has come up with a character whose misadventures will feel all too real or all too familiar to reading addicts: PJ Funnybunny， and yes， he's a funny looking bunny， but don't tell him that。 He doesn't like being in bunny form， and would rather be a bear， or a pig， or even （God spare me！） a skunk！ Will PJ find out in time that it's best to be yourself？。。。。which sounds like hundreds of kids books we've read before。 It's a lesson as old as the Land of Oz， that being yourself is good， and that means staying with your own mind。 I'm living proof that one concept cancels the other out。Three starsPJ Funnybunny not so funny， but still this book rocks。 。。。more

I loved this beginning book。 The artist brought the creatures facial expressions to life; they felt so real。 P。 J。 Funnybunny （Love that name， it’s fun to say） decided he didn’t like being a bunny and he went looking for a different animal to be。 He didn’t fit in with the other animals， especially the skunks which cracked up the nephew。 He found that being a bunny was actually pretty great。It’s the journey of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz。 The Journey to a different land makes you appreciate what I loved this beginning book。 The artist brought the creatures facial expressions to life; they felt so real。 P。 J。 Funnybunny （Love that name， it’s fun to say） decided he didn’t like being a bunny and he went looking for a different animal to be。 He didn’t fit in with the other animals， especially the skunks which cracked up the nephew。 He found that being a bunny was actually pretty great。It’s the journey of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz。 The Journey to a different land makes you appreciate what you have and when you get back you are so thankful。 This book is precious and it’s too bad I don’t think I read this as a child。 It’s a great book。The nephew is a little old for this book， but he loved the Funnybunny and he laughed at this story。 It was so cute and he gave this 4 stars。 Some classics still work。 。。。more

P。J Funnybunny did not want to be a bunny anymore， he didn't like his big ears or what his mom fed him， he wanted to be other animals around him。 P。J Funnybunny tried to be a bear， a beaver， a bird， a pig and many other animals， but with every new animal he tried to be， he found something he couldn't do like them or something he didn't like that they did。 This book was a hidden message kind of book as I like to call it， it is a good read as it is， but when you dig a little deeper there is an imp P。J Funnybunny did not want to be a bunny anymore， he didn't like his big ears or what his mom fed him， he wanted to be other animals around him。 P。J Funnybunny tried to be a bear， a beaver， a bird， a pig and many other animals， but with every new animal he tried to be， he found something he couldn't do like them or something he didn't like that they did。 This book was a hidden message kind of book as I like to call it， it is a good read as it is， but when you dig a little deeper there is an important message behind the writing。 In Its Not Easy Being a Bunny， P。J Funnybunny wants to be everyone but himself， but in the end， he finds that he likes being himself。 This is showing students the message that it is important and the best option just to be yourself because it is the best you can be and that's why I would want it in my classroom。 I love books like this because I want to teach my students that they should just be themselves because it is the best they can be。 This is such a powerful idea and this book had such a positive way to convey this message！ 。。。more

This picture book is a very good book for beginning readers。 It is very repetitive which can help and hurt learning readers。 It can help them because they are able to read it but， it can hurt them because they can very easily memorize it and not actually read it。 This book is also good because it shows children that it is good to be them。 Even if they want to be something else they usually do not fit in if they are trying to hard to be someone not themselves。
