1. BIBLIOGRAPHY
Fleming, Candace. 2002. MUNCHA! MUNCHA! MUNCHA! Ill. G. Brian Karas. New York, NY: Atheneum Books for Young Readers. ISBN 0689831528
2. PLOT SUMMARY
Poor Mr. McGreely. He tries everything he can do to stop bunnies from eating his garden. He tries his best to outsmart them and build more reinforcement, but to no avail.
3. IMPRESSIONS
I know the feeling! My problem is with deer as well, so I can relate to Mr. McGreely's frustration. Because of Fleming's writing, a child can relate as well. With simplistic drawings and story that reminds me a bit of "The Three Little Pigs", this book will not only have kids laughing, but they will be guessing what is going to happen next.
Another interesting hook is the repetitive text. The kids will be saying, "And the sun went down and the moon came up" and "Muncha, muncha, muncha", in their sleep. (And so may I!)
This is a must for kindergarten and first graders.

4. REVIEW EXCERPTS
* Starred review in SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "A giggle-producing refrain and humorous gouache, acrylic, and pencil illustrations make the story perfect for reading aloud. The munching, crunching sound effects in the read-along edition (available from Live Oak Media) add another layer of merriment."

* Starred review in BOOKLIST: "Children will cheer for the bunnies — or for Mr. McGreely — as they delight in Candace Fleming's clever sound effects and G. Brian Karas's vibrant, funny illustrations. Clever sound effects and vibrant illustrations make this a delightful read-aloud."
