This book really doesn't look all that special on the outside, but it is a true gem on the inside! Set to the tune of Little Bunny Foo Foo it tells the story of a little karate chopping bunny intent on destroying the bamboo forrest with his kicks and chops. There is a nice subtle moral lesson here about respecting others and respecting the environment, but it's not heavy handed. The drawings are wonderful - simple and elegant asian-inspired b&w images that really capture the action of the story. My 4 year old LOVED it and as soon as the story was over she was hopping around the house singing the song and doing her own little karate chops. I'm really eagerly awaiting this author/illustrator's next book!

Smart, relevant, well constructed, and beautifully versed, LITTLE BUNNY KING FU is an instant classic. It's glorious black and white illustrations are a big plus as well. The book is sure to set many young minds to thinking on a good path, reaching them by entertaining unforcefully. Reagan Johnson is a talent to watch for.

Giggle inducing story. Captivating artwork - ink drawings . Really clever book. This will make an excellent gift.
