But when he embarks on a new mission to find the Golden Carrot of Awesomeness, he meets his biggest challenge yet--his annoying little sister!

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1--Ninja Bunny is back, this time beleaguered by his tagalong little sister in red ninja garb. Mother tells him to let his sister play as well, but Ninja Bunny and his friends decree that her size prevents her from joining them. The male quartet spy an enormous carrot in a farmer's field, but "insurmountable vines of protection" defy pulls, chops, and a ninja bomb. Meanwhile, little sister creeps under the fortress and rolls the carrot over the NO BUNNIES sign and out to the chomp-happy rabbits, who declare that she can be a super awesome ninja. Luckily, her brother agrees and dispenses a hug. Olson's ink and watercolor cartoons bounce across the pages with brilliant colors and movement. Hilarious postures and expressions add to the story's success. VERDICT Another hit for Olson and a treat both for younger siblings and ninja fans everywhere.--Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
