Bookroo's summary
Buddy, a rabbit with big ears but poor listening skills, often mishears instructions, leading to comical mishaps. His biggest blunder lands him in the lair of the fearsome Scruffy Varmint. As Buddy faces the threat of becoming bunny stew, will he finally learn to listen? This whimsical tale explores the consequences of not paying attention and the importance of heeding advice.
From the publisher
A lop-eared rabbit named Buddy finds himself in trouble with the Scruffy Varmint because he never listens.

“This little bunny has big ears but doesn't learn to listen until he has some less-than-desired natural consequences from failing to do so. I quite enjoyed seeing what Buddy "heard" instead of what was really said. You (and your toddler) might relate to this story if you've ever talked to someone who doesn't always listen well, but hopefully any little ones can learn from Buddy's mistake through reading rather than meeting the Scruffy Varmint! ;)”
