About This Book
In Chris Barton's 'That's Not Bunny!', a determined Hawk is on the hunt for a bunny to eat. However, the clever bunny consistently outsmarts him, leading Hawk to repeatedly grab vegetables instead of his intended prey. This humorous early chapter book, suitable for ages 4-8, is a delightful tale of perseverance, ingenuity, and situational comedy. It's perfect for a lighthearted read-aloud or for emerging readers to enjoy independently, offering gentle lessons about problem-solving and not giving up, all wrapped in a very funny package.
From high above on his perch, Hawk searches for his next meal. When he spots a bunny he swoops down and snatches-a carrot!? He decides to try again; because after all, he isn't a Carrot Hawk. But when Hawk goes for his second attempt he comes up with a cucumber! And the third time he grabs a head of lettuce! How can Hawk be a hawk, if he can't catch a single bunny? As he surveys the assortment of vegetables in his nest, he gets a great idea for baiting the bunny. But will it work?
