Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake

An adorably fun story full of such natural language and dialogue that it's a perfect choice for sharing aloud.

Betty Bunny loves chocolate cake. This is not only a statement of fact, but also the title of the debut picture book by Michael B. Kaplan. Betty Bunny is a handful, according to her parents. Since her parents love her so very much, she thinks being a handful must be a good thing.

Betty Bunny is not very good at trying new things, including desserts she has never tried before. After a nice healthy dinner her mother asks, "Who wants dessert? I have chocolate cake." At first Betty Bunny wants nothing to do with it, but then her mother puts a bite in her mouth and instantly Betty Bunny is in love. She loves chocolate cake so much, she turns into a grumpy, impatient, devious handful waiting until she can taste that chocolaty goodness again.

Kaplan has created an adorably fun story full of such natural language and dialogue, it is a perfect choice for sharing aloud. Illustrator Stephane Jorisch captures the average family (in rabbit form!) in his lively watercolors letting each character’s personality shine through. You can just feel that with Betty everything is dramatic. Jorisch skillfully conveys every changing emotion and fiery display (such as flinging vegetables!) expressing Betty’s overflowing personality with flare.

Check it out! The fun ending will definitely leave you with a smile!
