Munsinger's unparalleled animal characters and Lester's hysterical text have joined together to create another silly tale about a bunny who just can't seem to listen.

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.
I used this a lot when I was teaching a program called "Peaceful People." Even the very young got the idea about the inportance of listening. I highly rrecommend this book in teaching lessons on listening.
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!
This is a cute book with a good message about listening to directions. However, my 3 year old is scared of the scruffy varmint who scares Buddy, the little rabbit, into listening. Cute pictures too though.
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.
I'm a child therapist and I use this book to work with children about the importance of following directions. The book is well written for this, as children easily grasp this message by the end of the book. When finished, I ask them what the book was about and they are consistently able to tell me. However, it's also a funny story that they enjoy reading. I've also had kids reference "Buddy" when we talk later about listening and/or following directions.
Great book for having a conversation about listening, makes the point that parents are just trying to look out for you without being too preachy. Nephew who has trouble listening loves the story and seems to listen a little more for a few hours after reading it.
I thought the story was great!!! I only gave it four stars because a small but significant group of kids didn't quite get what was going on without a lot of explanation on my part. I read it to a second grade class, which is what the topic (e.g., listening) is aimed at, but I think I'll use it with my older kids (5th and 6th grade) next time. I LOVED it and it was a great reminder to me that children hear things differently than adults.
