Bookroo's summary

P.J. Funnybunny is known for his clumsiness, but when his cousin Binky arrives, the family learns what real mischief looks like. As Binky's antics unfold, P.J.'s reputation is put to the test. Will P.J. finally be seen in a new light, or will Binky's chaos reign supreme? This humorous tale invites young readers to explore the dynamics of family and the unexpected surprises that come with it. With engaging rhymes and vibrant illustrations, children will delight in the playful rivalry and the lessons learned along the way.

From the publisher

P.J. Funnybunny sometimes behaved badly. But THE VERY BAD BUNNY was his cousin Blinky, whose exploits will amuse all young children. Fans of P.J. will also like his first book, IT’S NOT EASY BEING A BUNNY. ‘I can read it all by myself’ is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme, and bright pictures that can be ‘read’ even by the non-reading child.
