Publisher Description
For fans of Ladybug Girl and Charlie & Lola, check out the loveable handful nobunny can resist! Betty Bunny puts her own funny preschool spin on soccer (and practice). From the creator of Disney’s T.V. series Dog with a Blog.
Soccer is the first sport most kids play, and Betty Bunny is taking the field. She proudly announces that she will score ten goals in her first game. But like most preschoolers, Betty Bunny's ideas are not exactly in line with reality. When she fails to score a single goal, she decides that "soccer is yucky" and stuffs her uniform in the trash. Now it's up to her family to help Betty Bunny see the value of not giving up when things get hard. In a story about hard work and achieving your goals, Betty Bunny learns that with practice, she can do anything. But in Betty Bunny's world, this lesson has surprising results.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Betty Bunny continues to be a "handful," but her siblings also get some time in the spotlight in her fourth picture book, especially surly teenage brother Bill, one of the series's unsung heroes. Betty is ready to call it quits after she doesn't score a single goal during her first soccer game, but after Bill offers (read: is forced) to help Betty practice, she finally makes some headway. With deadpan zingers ("Kick it in your own net!" Bill encourages Betty. "A goal's a goal") and slyly funny artwork, Kaplan and Jorisch score once again with this one. Ages 3 5.
