About this book

Combine Michael Rosen's wholly original sense of humour with Arthur Robins' quirky illustrations and the result is this hilarious book that will make children laugh out loud.

The subject of bullying is tackled with humour and the bully is given the stark choice of either changing his behaviour or facing the negative consequences.

Little Rabbit Foo Foo goes through the forest bullying all the creature he encounters: mice, worms, tigers, even goblins - none are safe from Little Rabbit and his motorbike.

However, the Good Fairy warns him that unless he changes she will turn him into a goonie. And, ultimately, that's just what she does!
