Absolutely superb concept, brilliantly executed by Jeanne Willis and brought to life by the illustrative style of Tony Ross. This is collaboration perfection.
A little Bun AKA Fluff. E. Jumper, has a bad school report which isn't that bad really. In an attempt to lessen the blow to his parents and ultimately the fall out bestowed upon him, he takes matters into his own paws and writes them a letter...
He lets them know he has run away from home and as a result his little life has taken a turn for the worse. He goes on to outline exactly how he and his life have changed. He joined the Hell Bunnies, changed his name to 'Big Bad Bun' and things went downhill from that point on...he is no longer vegetarian, dyed his tail, NEVER washes his whiskers, stays up late, rides a motorbike without a helmet but worst of all...he had his ear pierced...and this is only the beginning!...SO there are far worse things in life than a bad school report, aren't there! The conclusion is delightful and brought a tear to my eye.
This version is quite a large paperback, ideal for group story sessions. Measurements approx:~
Height 11" 28cm
Width 9 ½ 24cm
Depth less than ¼" 3mm
Perhaps if for a child, the concept of a school report and why Bun wrote the letter needs to be understood to fully appreciate this story. My three year old daughter enjoyed me reading this to her and looking at the pictures but it was lost on her. This copy is for a growed uppy person but I shall be buying another to keep for her for when she is a little older. This would be a perfect gift for someone with school age children, working in education, teenagers, post reception age children or the young at heart...in fact almost anyone! I absolutely and completely highly recommend this book.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for both of my granddaughters (and one isn t even born yet) The story of Big Bad Bun is really the story of Fluff E Jumper. This little rabbit hasn t really gone to the bad, his only crime is that of a terrible school report, and that doesn t look so awful when compared with the life that he has invented for himself.This book is a must for all parents, ambitious for their children.
