Bookroo's summary

Pete can't stop thinking about Bunny, the new girl in class. His feelings become the talk of the school bus, leaving him embarrassed and unsure. Seeking comfort, Pete turns to his mom, who suggests a sweet gesture to express his feelings. Will Pete find the courage to follow her advice and win Bunny's friendship? This tender tale explores young emotions and the bond between a mother and her son.

From the publisher

When Bunny joins Miss Pooch’s class, Pete can’t stop staring at her. He thinks about Bunny all the time–even when he’s eating dinner and when he’s brushing his teeth. But when Pete sits next to Bunny on the school bus, the other kids all shout, “Pete likes Bunny! Pete likes Bunny!” At home, a dejected Pete confides in Mom, who thoughtfully suggests that Pete give Bunny flowers. As in the first two Pete books, Pete Won’t Eat and Pete Makes a Mistake, Emily Arnold McCully portrays profound emotions and important relationships–especially between parent and child–through simple text and eloquent body language and facial expressions.
