Roll into one all the things that are seen as bad behaviour and Fluff, or Big Bad Bun as he becomes, does them all. From dying his tail, piercing his ears and crashing his bike, Fluff is a typical tearaway. Or is he? As the joke of the story warns, pushy parents should take heed that there are worse things than a bad report…And they might also remember never to believe absolutely everything children say. As ever, Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross have created a picture book to entertain across all ages.

Ages: 0-5yrs. 'A dream team of writer and illustrator!' "The Times" *Also appeared in February Buyer's Notes*
Synopsis
There never was a rabbit as bad as Big Bad Bun. Or so you'd think if you read the letter which he left on his bed after school one day ...but it turns out Big Bad Bun (whose real name is actually Fluff) might not be as bad as he makes out. His school report aside, that is.

Big Bad Bun
Julia Eccleshare the guardian Fri 26 June 2009
Roll into one all the things that are seen as bad behaviour, and Fluff, or Big Bad Bun as he becomes, does them all. From joining the Hell Bunnies and dying his tail to piercing his ears and crashing his bike, Fluff is a typical tearaway. Or is he? As the joke of the story warns, pushy parents should take heed that there are worse things than a bad school report. And they might also remember never to believe absolutely what their children tell them.
