Bunjitsu Bunny Jumps to the Moon
by John Himmelman
Henry Holt and Company, 2016. 120 pages.
Bunjitsu Bunny’s back! Isabel the Bunjitsu master is back in this third book of short stories about fighting well and knowing when not to fight.
As before, most of the short well-illustrated chapters have some kind of kicker to the story. My favorite is “The Floating Rabbit” where their teacher challenges them to get from one circle drawn on the floor to another on the other side of the room without touching the floor. Isabel figures out to ask her friends to carry her.
“Sometimes,” said Isabel, “friends can help us do things we cannot do on our own.”
There are 13 short chapters in this book. The print is large and there are pictures on each spread, so this is a perfect choice for kids ready to start chapter books.
