Lädt ... It's Not Easy Being A Bunny (1983. Auflage)von Marilyn SadlerPJ doesn't wan to be a bunny anymore because he's tired of eating carrots, he hates his big, floppy ears, and he has too many siblings. So, he leaves his family and joins first the bear family, then the bird family, and so on. The story is cute, and the illustrations fun, but overall, the book is underwhelming. Summary: It's Not Easy Being a Bunny by Marilyn Sadler is about a bunny who's name is Funnybunny. He does not want to be a bunny anymore. He decided to be a bear, a bird, a beaver, a pig, a moose, a possum, and a skunk. Funnybunny decides, after trying to be everything other than a bunny, he is better off being a bunny. He decides being a bunny really isn't as bad as he once thought it would be. Personal Reaction: I really enjoy this story. This story shows that you may not know how good you have it until you get out of your situation. Then you realize that you really don't have it as bad as you believed it was. I have stressful situations and at times I believe it cannot get any worse but if I get out of my bubble, I realize that I really have it made I just need to take a break. This book really shows that. Classroom Extension: 1. Explain to the students that in life there are going to be things they do not like but that one situation can open up doors to several others that they do like. 2. Have the students tell me something they do not like for example being an only child, or having too many siblings. Explain to the children, with siblings, that if they didn't have their siblings when they wanted to play a game they wouldn't have anyone to play with, and those who are only child, explain to them that they don't have to share a room and will have more time with their parents. This book was very cute. I thought that the illustrations were awesome and really did a wonderful job of telling the story. This was another book that I felt could have been wordless. The illustrations did a fabulous job of portraying the written text. The story is about P.J. Funnybunny and his opposition of being a bunny. Throughout the book, P.J. went on an adventure to try to live the life of different animals. Throughout the book the reader will notice a very repetitive theme, "I don't want to be a ____. I want to be a..." This gives the reader the inclination that there is another animal that P.J. is going to try to be. This give the reader the opportunity to make a prediction of what P.J. will be next! The message within this story is that everyone is unique, be proud of who you are. It takes P.J. a few times of trial and error to figure this out, but after living with the bears, the birds, the beavers, the pigs, the moose, the possums, and the skunks, he realizes what he really wants is to live with his bunny family and be himself again. Once P.J. is back home he no longer takes for granted the things he disliked about his family before. He eats his cooked carrots, he plays with his brothers and sisters, and he is proud of his big ears! I think Marilyn Sadler does a great job getting the message across to the readers. This book would be categorized as a modern fantasy because the animals are given human-like qualities. Overall I think this was a great story. This is a wonderful children’s book that I read when I was younger. Marilyn Sadler did an amazing job writing about P.J. Funnybunny and how he did not like being a bunny and wanted to try to be other animals like a bear, a skunk, and a moose. The illustrations enhance the story where children can see P.J. try to be other animals and then realize he is perfect the way he is; as a bunny. This story would be good to teach children to be happy being themselves. The moral within the story is strong and this book could also be used to teach a lesson about animals and repetition. I liked this book for its repetitive language and images. The book uses predictable language that would be very nice to use as a shared reading for young students. P.J. the bunny continually says "I don't want to be a ____. I want to be a..." this statement allows readers to make guesses and interact with the story as it is being read. I also really enjoyed the illustrations that accompanied the pages of text. They were very colorful and showed the animals of the story in a very positive, friendly light. The illustrator made even the opossums look friendly which allows young readers to be engaged with the characters. The main idea of the story is that it is always best to be yourself! The book It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny is written by Marilyn Sadler and illustrated by Roger Bollen. This fun short story has the underlying message of being content with who you are; you should not want to be anyone other than yourself. This modern fantasy is relatable and captivating by the effectiveness of the overall story sequence and entertaining text. For example, the little rabbit travels from place to place meeting other animals and wanting to be them instead of a bunny. This is entertaining to see how a little rabbit longs to fit in with various animals, such as a beaver or bear family. Throughout the story many exclamatory sentences are used such as, I want to be a bear!!!! or I want to be a skunk!!! The use of the text in this way allows the story to flow effectively, as well as captivating the reader. In my opinion, It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny by Marilyn Sadler is an adorable story. The overall premise of this picture book is to appreciate who you are, and to be thankful for what you have. The illustration, Roger Bollen, does a fantastic job depicting the emotion of the bunny through detailed cartoons. This modern fantasy has simple text making it fun and quick to read. It's Not Easy Being a Bunny by Marilyn Sadler is a very cute beginner book for children learning to read. It tells the story of a bunny who decides he does not want to be a bunny anymore and visits different types of animals he would rather be. He eventually finds that being a bunny is not as bad as he thought. Children would love to hear this story read aloud or to read it independently because it is funny. This book could be used in a classroom of children in the first grade who are mostly all beginner readers. I love this fun book! Genre: This book is a good example of fantasy because this book is of talking animals. All of the animals presented in the book are talking and all get along together (bears and pigs, etc). This is not possible in the 'real' world. Characterization: The main character is P.J. Funnybunny who struggles with who he is, and sets out be 'become' a different animal. The author did an excellent job in showing how P.J. transforms in the book from not wanting to be a bunny, to accept loving who he is. She made this character relatable to the readers who may be struggling with accepting who they are and their family. Level: Primary Zeige 23 von 23 |
