No Contest! Bunny Will Not Jump! by Jason Tharp

"OH, HI, FRIEND! IT'S YOUR FRIEND, BIG! I HAVE A PROBLEM.

BUNNY WILL NOT JUMP!"

Big has committed an unintended faux pas.

Big Blue Bear challenged his friend Bunny into a jumping contest, and Bunny lost. Now Bunny has lost his self confidence.

"THAT'S RIGHT! I WILL NOT DO IT."

Big can tell his friend is sad about the whole thing. He knows Bunny loves to jump. It's what bunnies DO! But he will not jump, even for a trophy full of lettuce! This is SERIOUS.

So Big Blue Bear asks the readers to pitch in.

IF YOU SHAKE THE BOOK, MAYBE HE'LL JUMP.

SHAKE!

Bunny does not jump. Big Bear brings in the old JUMP-0-MATIC.

"PUSH THE BLUE BUTTON, FRIEND!"

PFFFFFOOOOF! The Jump-o-Matic malfunctions! Big Blue Bear tries to explain that he can jump higher than Bunny only because he is much taller. His argument falls flat. Finally, Big Blue Bear turns to his readers for help:

FLIP THE PAGE BACK AND FORTH TO HELP BUNNY JUMP!

And the old Flip-the-Page trick really works, as Bunny jumps really high, in Jason Tharp's Bunny Will Not Jump! (Ready-to-Reads) (Simon Spotlight, 2020).
