I can see my students laughing at the antics of the bunnies! ( )

Three little bunnies find shelter during the cold winter in grumpy old Mr. McGreely’s house. They leave before the old man awakes, but they leave behind evidence of their nightly stay. The old man blocks off entries to his house to keep out those “Pesky pufftails” until there are no entries left to his house. This delightful book is a companion to Candace Fleming’s Muncha Muncha Muncha. The author makes references to the original which allows for the reader to make connections. The illustrator uses pencil, gouache, and acrylic paint to capture the essence of winter. This book makes for a fun and engaging read-aloud with its playful alliteration and constant use of onomatopoeias. ( )

Ths book is the sequel to Muncha,Mucha,Mucha. Now the rabbits are trying to get in the farmers house for the winter.I love the repitition of words. The farmer goes to great lengths to keep them out and himelf in. ( )

Somehow, Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! just didn't grab me. But Tippy-Tippy-Tippy, Hide! did. Three cold little bunnies are up against mean Mr. McGreely (sounds kinda like McGregor, huh?). Every time they find a way in he blocks it. Until he finally wins the battle....or has he?

The scrawly illustrations, including menacing eyebrows on the part of Mr. McGreely and huge bunny ears are mischievously engaging and there's enough rhyme and repetition to hold the interest of a variety of ages. Children will get a kick out of the naughty bunnies, who find their way inside no matter what McGreely does - and eventually have the last laugh!

Verdict: A fun read-aloud for storytime. Recommended
