review 1: A perfect beginning chapter book! Isabelle is the best bunjitsu artist of her grade; "she could throw her classmates further than anyone". In this book, each chapter imparts some type of zen wisdom, wrapped in a hilariously funny elementary school-ish setting. The girl bunny heroine, the marvelous Teacher who tells Isabelle how to conquer bad dreams and challenges her to defeat a wave, the cricket who brings good luck -- it is all wonderful. Run to your library and get a copy of this joyous book which is easy enough for 1st graders to read but that teaches lessons even grownups need to master.
review 2: Bunjitsu Bunny, also known as Isabel, is a feisty and wise young bunny who takes her practice of Bunjitsu very seriously. In these twelve brief, fable-style tal... morees, Bunjitsu Bunny illustrates values like creative thinking, hard work, self-restraint, and persistence. In the chapter titled "Lucky Cricket," Isabel asks Cricket to be her good luck charm at an upcoming Bunjitsu tournament. Cricket agrees, but asks Isabel to first "'Show me your bunjitsu moves.' Isabel knew a LOT of bunjitsu moves, so it took her many hours to show cricket." Cricket asks her again and again to show him her moves, and when at long last the day of the tournament arrives, Isabel wins and learns that it was thanks to all her practice and not because of a lucky cricket. These gentle and entertaining fables are told with both words and pictures, making this title a great choice for beginning chapter book readers. Each chapter stands alone, so they can be read in any order and still be satisfying. less
