From New York Times bestselling author comes the hilarious picture book introduction to Judgy Bunny, whose first instinct is to expect every new experience to be THE WORST – especially if she wasn't invited, might not be good at it, or it just looks awesome...er, terrible, that is.

For this judgy bunny, nothing's worse than a day at the beach. The sun? Too bright. That view of the blue sky and gleaming sand? Awful. Sand castles? Ugh. Ice cream? Yucky.

Yep. Everything is TERRIBLE. It has to be, right? There’s no way she could ever have a good time. Not with the inexplicably friendly bunny who's offered to fly kites with her, or the ice cream that possibly isn't a flavour she detests, or boogie boarding, which she actually... isn't bad at??! Okay. MAYBE it's fun. But she'll be the judge of that.

Judgy Bunny debuts in this read-aloud adventure for kids ages 4-8, full of adorable illustrations, memorable characters and laugh-out-loud scenarios that will endear Judgy Bunny to kids and adults alike.
