Remember watching “The Bionic Bunny” on the TV series “Arthur?” Well, did you know that there was a book made during the 1980s called “The Bionic Bunny Show” that preceded the famous superhero bunny in the “Arthur” series? “The Bionic Bunny Show” is a children’s book by Marc Brown and Laurene Krasny Brown about the movie star life of Wilbur and how he portrays the world’s greatest superhero! “The Bionic Bunny Show” is a truly hilarious and informative book about movies that children will love fo Remember watching “The Bionic Bunny” on the TV series “Arthur?” Well, did you know that there was a book made during the 1980s called “The Bionic Bunny Show” that preceded the famous superhero bunny in the “Arthur” series? “The Bionic Bunny Show” is a children’s book by Marc Brown and Laurene Krasny Brown about the movie star life of Wilbur and how he portrays the world’s greatest superhero! “The Bionic Bunny Show” is a truly hilarious and informative book about movies that children will love for many years!

I never would have thought that the popular Bionic Bunny that resurfaces a lot on “Arthur” would be introduced in this book! Marc Brown and Laurene Krasny Brown has done a great job at both writing and illustrating this book about the life of a mild-mannered bunny and his acting job. I loved the way that Marc Brown and Laurene Krasny Brown made this story extremely hilarious and informative at the same time as Wilbur keeps on botching up his lines and surprisingly acts the opposite of Bionic Bunny as Wilbur is portrayed as a weak and wimpy character, while Bionic Bunny is portrayed as a strong and brave character and that just shows how much of a great actor that Wilbur really is! I also loved how Marc Brown and Laurene Krasny Brown provided a television word bank at the end of the book so that it would help children understand about the words used in the television business like the words “actor,” “control room” and “director.” Marc Brown’s illustrations are extremely hilarious and creative at the same time, especially the image of Wilbur looking so skinny and wearing glasses while his character Bionic Bunny is so muscular and strong and it really brings out the drastic change that Wilbur goes through in becoming his alternative ego. I really loved the image of Bionic Bunny himself as he wears a blue jumpsuit and a red cape and has a large red “B” on his shirt and he also ears some cool looking tennis shoes that supposedly makes him look taller (I would love to have such tennis shoes myself!) I also loved the illustrations of the different camera equipment used for the show as children can easily see how movies are created and I loved the way that Marc Brown inserted a comic strip styled story within the book as the story flips back and forth between Bionic Bunny’s adventures (comic book styled) and real life which involves Wilbur messing up his lines and informing the audience about the film industry.

All in all, “The Bionic Bunny Show” is a great introduction to the world of television and also a great introduction to the superhero Bionic Bunny that every child will enjoy reading about for years to come! I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since the material is not too difficult to understand.
