About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child expresses a desire to be someone else or seems bored with their own life. In this classic story, a young bunny named P.J. Funnybunny decides he is tired of being a bunny. He sets off to try living as other animals: a bear, a bird, a pig, and a possum. With each attempt, he discovers the downsides and realizes that the grass isn't always greener. This simple, humorous tale gently explores themes of self-acceptance and gratitude for one's own family and home. Its repetitive structure and charming illustrations make it a perfect, reassuring read for preschoolers.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A young bunny briefly leaves home on his own, but is never in any actual danger.

Sensitive Topics

The core topic is identity and dissatisfaction with one's life, handled metaphorically and with great gentleness. The concept of a child leaving home is presented as a curious exploration, not a traumatic event. The approach is entirely secular, and the resolution is hopeful, simple, and affirming.
