"What do you call a bunny who can't tell a joke? ... An Unfunny Bunny!"
From the legendary Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson comes a side-splitting new picture book about finding your own brand of funny. Tomorrow is Bunny’s very first day of school, and he has a big plan: he is going to be the funniest kid in the history of the classroom. He wants the laughs, the giggles, and the spotlight.
There’s just one tiny problem—when Bunny finally gets to school, his jokes land with a thud. His classmates aren't laughing, and Bunny feels like a total flop. But through a series of "unfunny" mishaps, Bunny discovers that being yourself is way better than being a comedy star, and that the best friendships often start with a shared "groaner" of a joke.
Perfect for fans of Grumpy Monkey and The Bad Seed, this is a lighthearted story about the pressure we put on ourselves to be "perfect" and the magic of finding someone who laughs at your jokes—even when they aren't that great!

The Adoverse Selection
We added Unfunny Bunny to our collection because it celebrates the "awkward" moments of childhood. We love how Kenan Thompson uses humor to show kids that you don't have to be the best at everything to be loved—you just have to be yourself. It is a mandatory addition to any "funny" bookshelf!
