Special Review & Giveaway - November 2, 2017 - Frankenbunny

Two days ago I was asked by Sterling Children's Books to review a new book; it arrived today. I know I already posted a review/giveaway earlier today, but I have quite a few to get through before the end of the month, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it. This book is a fun story and while the title - Frankenbunny - might make you think it was a book for this time of year, the story is one which goes well any time of year!

Sterling Children's Books says; "'You know monsters aren’t real, right?' Brave is easy in the sunshine. Brave is easy near Papa. But can Spencer the Bunny learn to be brave ALL the time—even when his big brothers try their best to scare him? Spencer the Bunny’s big brothers ALWAYS frighten him with scary monster stories. And the most terrifying beast of all is Frankenbunny, with his crusty fangs, flashing red eyes, and ginormous paws. But when Spencer discovers his brothers made the whole thing up, he hatches a plan to turn the tables on them and conquer his own fears . . . forever. Any child who has ever worried about a monster in the closet or felt scared in the dark will love this humorous story about learning to be brave."

I could totally do without page with the spiders, but found Frankenbunny an enjoyable read and one I'm quite sure my grandsons will put with their favorite books. Not only is the story fun, but reading it is a blast - so many places to put emphasis and build suspense . . . highly entertaining and just the type of book this grandma enjoys reading to her three, sweet grandsons!
