New Things Can Be Fun

This is a sweet story of a little bunny who is afraid to try unfamiliar things and is particularly scared to be going away to summer camp. But the little bunny goes anyway, and of course, has a marvelous time. The book details the various activities at the camp and highlights Sunny and her new friends, like the lion and panda. The illustrations are relatively simple with little detail. The only one that was really hard for me to see was Sunny's father. The illustrator made the bunny so dark (and all details) that I couldn't see any distinguishing features on the PDF ARC copy that I received. One illustration almost made me laugh out loud. Sunny and friends are doing some dancing on Hawaiian night wearing grass skirts. The panda even has a coconut shell bra! There are other bits of humor throughout that the adults will probably appreciate more than the child, like the page with the campers doing yoga. In the text, it says they are doing the little puppy pose when they are doing downward-facing dog. Very cute. If you have a child who has difficulty trying new things or is afraid of going to summer camp, this book would be the perfect gateway to help discuss the fear or even show the kinds of fun camp activities that they might have to look forward to.

Sunny the Bunny is a shy creature who doesn't really like to try new things. Her mother has signed her up for summer camp, and while she is very timid about going, Sunny finds that new things, like summer camp, can be fun. A sweet story with likable characters and adorable illustrations.

Sunny the Bunny is a cute book which will appeal to beginning readers. The illustrations are simple, but appropriately cute. It talks about a topic that is important to youngsters that may be going to sleep-away summer camp for the first time. Sunny is nervous at first, but ends up participating and having fun in a variety of experiences.

An adorable book that I think children of all ages will enjoy. My favorite part of the book was the lesson that the main character, Sunny the Bunny learned, It’s okay to be nervous when trying something new. Sunny very hesitant to attend camp for the first time ends of up having an absolute blast. Great book to share at the beginning of the school year.

I received an electronic ARC from Greenleaf Book Group through NetGalley.
Sunny is nervous about trying some new things, especially going away to camp. However, once there, Sunny discovers how much fun it can be to try new things and make new friends. By the end, Sunny can't wait for next year.
Higgins captures the nerves and excitement for younger children heading to camp. His character, Sunny, shares the same feelings so readers can see themselves and see how much fun new adventures can be. The illustrations capture the settings and feelings on each page.

Texas teen authors! The illustrations were simple and colorful. They wouldn't distract an elementary reader. The text is easy to read. I liked the text being on different colored backgrounds.

We follow Sunny the Bunny as she faces the fear of going to summer camp. Will she be able to overcome her fear of something new? Will she be able to make friends?

My students will love that it's written in rhyme!!

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of the book in exchange for a honest review. It is a forced rhyme tale of Sunny the Bunny's first experience at sleep away camp. It might be useful for reading to younger kids who are feeling apprehensive about going away to camp. My digital galley only had a cover illustration. The illustrations are flat and amateurish. I am assuming that the finished book will be fully illustrated. The author is a teenager. It seems to be her first book. All young people who aspire to be writers should keep writing and use the feedback that they get from readers.

A young bunny is told that she was going to go to summer camp...this terrified her because she is not comfortable in new situations. .

A wonderful story that young, shy children can relate to...how scary it is to be "outside one's comfort zone."

This was really cute little children's book. The artwork was adorable and the rhyming scheme was really well done. I felt like the lyrics got a little overly sing-song-y toward the end and it may have been just a little bit too long, but overall it is a nice addition to a children's collection.

I had the opportunity to read and review Sunny the Bunny goes to Camp for Netgalley. My niece, nephew, and I read this adorable rhyming story about a bunny’s first trip to summer camp. It’s a great introduction to the idea of summer camp for kids, and paints a very fun and magical image. Sunny the Bunny had a few worries about going away to camp, but she was brave and learned how much fun new experiences can be. The quick rhythm and smooth flow of the rhymes helped to keep the kids engaged and excited. This is definitely a book the kids will want to read again, and as an adult I would enjoy reading it to them as well.

This a cute little rhyming book about Sunny the Bunny going to summer camp and all the things they do. The storyline was really cute and I think that kids of all ages will really enjoy this!

This book was written by highschool students. It's a nice accomplishment and the story is very well done. Sunny the bunny is worried about leaving its parents and heading to camp until they realize all the fun they can have. I find the book is a bit long and while it rhymes it occasionally loses cadence and trips the tongue. The pictures are sweet and match the story. They remind me a bit of Kevin Henkes mixed with Hello Kitty.

Such a lovely story! I loved how the whole story rymed. My 5year old wants me te read it everyday now. Its a good story for kids who will do new things. To show them its okay to be scared. But things can be fun!

Sunny is a sweet & simple read with adorable illustrations! Perfect for any kid who is a little nervous about "something" in life and how to seek out the good in a situation.

Sunny the Bunny chronicles the journey of a young bunny who is going to a sleep-away camp for the first time. Despite her initial anxieties and homesickness, Sunny warms up to camp life, makes some new friends, and has a great time!

This book was ADORABLE. All of the animals looked like stuffed toys that would jump right off the page for a cuddly story time. I enjoyed the simplistic yet cute illustrations (especially the one of Sunny while zip lining, that made me giggle).

I also thought that the storyline was just the right amount of educational and fun for young readers who may be experiencing anxiety about being away from home for the first time. Sunny admits that at first she is scared and not excited about going to camp, but once there she realizes how much fun all of the activities and other animals are. At the end, she even says how much she is looking forward to going next year! Told with an endearing rhyme scheme, this is the perfect children's book!

I would definitely recommend this book if you have a child who is anxious about trying new things, or scared of being away from home. Super cute!

Having recently been to a camp, we could share the experiences of Sunny the Bunny. Especially the camp counselors, stage shows. Cute illustrations. Sunny's parents did find a very good camp with such variety of activities.

This sweet book is adorable and a delight to read!

Sunny is off on a new adventure - summer camp! At first she is nervous to spend time away from her parents but, that changes very fast once she makes friends and is enjoying all the fun activities at camp.

The cute illustrations paired with the rhyme writing make for a fun read. Children will adore this book!

My daughter thought the story was adorable, and really liked the fact that it was a level she could read. The art is perfect for conveying the storyline, and is cute to boot.

Sunny the Bunny leaves for camp and she is very sad as she will miss her parents and all that she knows. What she finds out, that there is so much to learn and do. She discovers new things to do like zip lining, swimming with friends, winning a talent contents. She has so much fun that she is sad to leave on her last day.

If you have high hopes for your child to do camp in the near future. This is a great resource to talk about camp. I was a camp leader for 6th graders and even they miss their parents on the first day. Camp is such a great way to build up your children and finding the best camp that inspires that will be the greatest gift you can give your kids. A memory that will be with them for a life time.

A Special Thank you to Greenleaf Book Press and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review
