The King of Snark
has done it again. Jon Scieszka has delivered a witty tale that skewers
children’s lit of yesteryear. Strikingly designed to look like a damaged Little
Golden Book, this book stars Alex, a young revisionist who takes it upon himself
to “transform” the insipid story about a “birthday bunny” into a macho action
figure: “BattleBunny”. After all, what young man would be thrilled with a
birthday book about a tame little bunny when his mind is full of danger and destruction?
Armed with a pencil, birthday bunny gains a menacing eyepatch, a WWF wrestling
belt and an Evil Plan. Parents, please keep the pencils away from library
books, but do share this delightful romp with your little guys.
