The Grass May not be Greener
Bunny has had enough of his boring life. Good fortune is bestowed upon him when he bumps into a fairy who helps him transform into a bee, an elephant, a snake and a fish for a day. What do you think he discovers?
​
“Oh Fairy, I have had enough!
Being a bunny is frightfully tough!
I’d love to change just for one day,
To see the world in a different way.”

Hilary Lawrence’s charming book in rhyme about a rabbit who wants to be different will resonate in today’s world. Mr Bunny learns the hard way to accept himself as he is and enjoy it. The easy rhyme brings home the message of acceptance very clearly, but subtly. Together with the truly delightful artwork, the story will appeal to all ages: to toddlers, to the adults reading to them, and to children reading for themselves. Stories such as these, in easy rhyme, are essential for English language development. The Grass is Greener could also appeal, therefore, as a tool for TEFL teachers, both used with children and with adults at an early stage of learning English.
