Another success

Paying attention may be difficult, but Buddy learns that it pays in the long run. Well... sort of! Another of Helen Lester's entertaining and yet educational books. I had not seen this one until recently. What a fun way to teach a child about listening!

Great book

My kids love this book and want to read it again and again. It is a good book to get kids to listen. We go over what the bunny is not hearing correctly and why. Great teaching book with some help.

What a great book about listening.

This book was better than I anticipated. Buddy the rabbit goes along his merry way without listening correctly to anyone. Then he runs into the Scruffy Varmit who doesn't put up with little bunnies who won't listen. Buddy almost ends up as Scruffy's soup du jour, but Buddy learns the lesson finally and listens perfectly. My kids love this book with the wonderful illustrations in it. I love it for the message it sends about listening. I can just tell them to "Listen Buddy" when I can't seem to get my 3 and 5 year old's attention. Love this book.

silly & fun

My son and I have read this book numerous times. I never tire of the beatifully detailed pictures and the silly listening errors made by Buddy Bunny. You will love it!

Hilarious book to read, I had as much fun as the kids.

This is a very funny story of a little bunny, who is cabable of hearing things correctly, but rarely does. This is pretty annoying to Buddy's parents, but still Buddy isn't really motivated to listen more carefully until he mixes up some directions and runs into trouble. Luckily dear Buddy gets out of the jam unscathed, and ready to do some fine listening, too.Really is one of the more fun stories to read.
