Drip-drop rainy day. / Bunny can't go out to play. / Waiting for the sunny sun, / time to have some... / Bunny fun!" Bunny and his mouse friend find several playful--albeit messy--ways to entertain themselves indoors. The pleasing text bounces alongside jovial illustrations showing the carefree friends cavorting "in Mama's shoes" and making paper dolls from "Papa's news. (c) Copyright 2010.

A sequel to Overboard (2006), in which a bunny and his mouse partner-in-play throw things from high chair, bath tub, and crib, Bunny Fun reveals the enjoyment to be found inside on a rainy day, including a pillow fight and a dress-up session. Weeks' rhyming text is bouncy and sweet, and Williams' illustrations, in charcoal, pastel, and watercolor on hot-press paper, are equally appealing full of vibrant color, activity, and exuberance. Young children will enjoy following the adventures and helping with the cheerful refrain Bunny fun found on nearly every page.--Nolan, Abby Copyright 2008 Booklist

PreS-The young bunny introduced in Overboard! (Harcourt, 2006) and his mouse friend fill a rainy day with lively antics. The rhythmic cadence bumps along joyfully as the pair have pillow fights, get artistic with Mama's makeup, play hide-and-seek, slip around on stocking feet, and make a bunny chain with Papa's newspaper. The spirited illustrations dance across each spread highlighting the action. The vigorous colors jump off the page, much like bunny and the mouse. A winning choice for storytimes.-Linda M.

A rainy day triggers indoor mischief. Brightly dressed Bunny and a mouse pal entertain themselves with various projects when the weather won't let them go outside. Simple, rhyming text ("Don't peek. / Hide-and-seek. / Bunny / underneath the bed") and Williams's full-bleed, color-soaked illustrations depict their antics, which include a pillow fight, origami with papa's newspaper, trying on mama's shoes, drawing on the mirror with lipstick, making a telephone out of tin cans, playing with blocks and so forth. When the rain goes away, the fun-loving pair rushes outside. The swings and the red wagon are "slippery drippy / everything. / No more Bunny fun today?" The discovery of a big mud puddle definitively answers that question. Williams's figures are oversized, emphasizing the boldness of their romp, and the inviting design should attract the very young, but will parents want to encourage such (mis)behavior?
