"Hedgehog shrugs. "Telling jokes isn't as easy
as it looks. I think you're onto something. It just
takes practice!"
That gives Bunny an idea.
"Maybe we could work on them together?"
Bunny and Hedgehog sit down
and start writing jokes."
The first day of school happens tomorrow for Bunny. Excitement is rising. Before leaving, he works to determine which bunny he wants his new classmates to meet. Cool? Sporty? Neither appeal. Donning a red suit and tie, with fancy high-top red sneakers, he decides to be a Funny Bunny. Telling his jokes to all who will listen does not go well. His classmates are obviously unimpressed with his humor. Bunny is frantic to hear them laugh.
When it doesn't happen, he gets angry and starts yelling out even more jokes. The result is a new nickname; they agree they think he is an UNfunny bunny. Oh, dear! Hedgehog comes to his rescue with a compliment and an idea. Perhaps the two can work together to write new jokes. With practice and encouragement, the two find common ground and begin to make progress. They laugh together with their families as they share what they are writing.
When Bunny is ready, he tries again; then eagerly awaits his classmates' response. It works! His talent for sharing his jokes, while learning to be a grand friend make his life so much better. Young kids love to laugh at jokes, not always good ones. They will find much humor when this book is shared, as they learn about being a good friend as well.
Two pages of extra jokes to learn only adds to the fun!
