Summary

Surf’s up for a bunch of mischievous bunnies and one frazzled farmer in this beach-time read-aloud adventure.

Mr. McGreely had bunny problems.
He had bunnies in his garden.
Bunnies in his shed.
Bunnies in his cupboard.
Bunnies in his…BED!

Mr. McGreely has had it with irksome rabbits, so he dons his swimsuit and a pair of goggles and gets ready for some time away at the beach. Little does he know, the bunnies have stowed away in his backseat! He also hadn’t known that the rascally rabbits have mad surfing and kite flying skills. His annoyance is at sunstroke level…until he sees a sign for a sandcastle-making contest, and realizes that teaming up with the pesky pufftails might just have some benefits.

From the creators of Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! and Tippy-Tippy-Tippy, Hide!, this read-aloud adventure comes complete with hilarious illustrations, bouncy language, and, of course, the cutest bunnies around.
