Bunny in a Tree? Hi, Jack! by Mac Barnett and Greg Pizzola

Jack is a bunny who hops to a different drummer. He has a thing for living, not in bunny burrows, but in a tree--a tree house of his own.

But Jack gets tired of the "high" life, or perhaps he gets lonely, so he climbs down and goes out to find a friend. He meets an old lady Hare, and, er, borrows her purse.

JACK! GIVE THAT BACK!

Inside Jack finds some lipstick, which he tries on his own lips before returning the purloined purse, but he keeps the lipstick and leaves a trail of bright red graffiti behind himself until at last he meets his friend, a big white rabbit named Rex.

In the best-selling author, Mac Barnett's comic title in his easy reading pre-primer-level books, Hi, Jack! (A Jack Book) (Viking Books, 2019), author Barnett has his co-creator, the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winning illustrator Greg Pizzoli, along to document Jack's snacks and acts in this super-simple series of silly stories for beginners. As Publishers Weekly puts it in a starred review, "Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension—and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli’s scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers.”

Other books in the Jack series are Jack at Bat (A Jack Book) and Jack Goes West. (A Jack Book)
