This sweet little picture book tells the story of a bunny who’s fed up with being himself. He complains to a fairy that life as a bunny is dull and tough, so she grants his wish to become different animals for a day. He becomes a bee, an elephant, a snake, and a fish. Each adventure starts with excitement and ends in disappointment as the bunny learns that every creature has its own problems. By the end, he realizes he’s happiest being himself. The book wraps up with a moral about self-acceptance and a fun page of bunny facts for curious young readers.

I have to say, I loved the rhythm and rhyme of the writing. It’s bouncy and easy to read aloud, which makes it perfect for bedtime or storytime. The bunny’s personality really comes through. He’s grumpy, curious, and kind of dramatic in a funny way. Each transformation feels like its own little mini-story, and I found myself smiling at how relatable it all was. The fairy’s gentle patience balances Bunny’s constant complaining nicely, and the message about gratitude feels earned rather than preachy.

The illustrations are just gorgeous. Bright, warm, and full of life. The charming illustrations are delightful and perfectly convey the story’s humor. The warm colors and endearing art style create a rich, engaging world that invites young readers to pore over the details and discover a new, funny antic with every look. It’s a story that doesn’t just entertain kids but nudges adults too, reminding us all to stop comparing our lives to others. It hits that sweet spot of being simple enough for children and thoughtful enough for grown-ups to appreciate.

I’d recommend The Grass May Not Be Greener to parents, teachers, and anyone looking for a cheerful yet meaningful story to share with children. It’s especially good for kids who might struggle with confidence or envy. The writing is playful, the pictures are wonderful, and the lesson lands softly. It’s one of those books that makes you smile and think.
