Our Review

This charming early reader follows P.J. Funnybunny as he navigates a frustrating day of parental rules and restrictions, discovering that grass isn't always greener elsewhere. Young children will immediately connect with P.J.'s relatable grievances about not getting ice cream for breakfast or watching scary movies. The simple, repetitive sentence structure builds reading confidence while the humorous family dynamics keep pages turning. This story about childhood frustrations and family boundaries offers both entertainment and gentle life lessons.

What makes this book particularly effective is how it validates children's feelings while subtly reinforcing family values through P.J.'s experiences with Potts Pig's different household rules. The emotional arc—from frustration to understanding—provides excellent material for parent-child conversations about rules and appreciation. Emerging readers will enjoy the accessible vocabulary and expressive illustrations that support comprehension. This sequel delivers exactly what beginning readers need: engaging content that supports both literacy development and social-emotional learning.
