Smile, Darn Ya! Bunny Will Not Smile by Jason Tharp

"HEY THERE! MY NAME IS BIG"

"I HAVE A PROBLEM OVER HERE ON THE NEXT PAGE...
"BUNNY WILL NOT SMILE!"

Big Blue Bear is always trying to get Bunny to do stuff. And Bunny likes to say, "NOPE!"

Bear tries bribing Bunny with bunches and bunches of carrots. Bunny is apparently bored with bunches of carrots. So Big tries dressing up like a clown and making silly balloon people. Bunny is not amused. Bear tries boisterous busking with a rock band. Bupkis!

Bear has to bring in the experts. He challenges his readers to do something super silly.

"OKAY. GET IN REAL CLOSE SO BUNNY CANNOT HEAR!"

"I NEED YOU TO MAKE A SUPER SILLY FACE."

And Bear's readers are more than on board with that idea, and Bunny bursts into a big wide grin, in Jason Tharp's Ready to Read book, Bunny Will Not Smile!: Ready-to-Read Level 1 (Ready-to-Reads) (Simon Spotlight). Author-illustrator Tharp's interactive easy readers are certain to bring at least a smile to the kids who can read this one out loud when they see Big Blue Bear's selfie of himself and Bunny, both with big smiles. Check out Tharp's other Bear and Bunny book, Bunny Will Not Be Quiet! (Ready-to-Reads) and his latest, It's Okay to Be a Unicorn! and his silly skunk in It's Okay to Smell Good!
