It's Just a Bunnypalooza for our red-headed protagonist Lizzy! Ever rambunctious and creative, Lizzy is learning new dance moves from her furry bunny friends just in time for the school talent show. When she tells her classmates that she's learning hip-hoppity moves from bunnies, Lizzy becomes embarrassed and self-conscious as the children giggle at her over-active imagination. Not wanting to be laughed at, Lizzy becomes an avid "non-believer" and ceases any more communication with animals. Naturally, the bunnies organize an intervention. Not only will these furry little creatures not allow Lizzy to attempt 'hip-hop' without them, they do not want to lose their friend. This little tale about Lizzy and 'cotton-tails' provides multiple social-emotional-learning moments…and is also pure adventure-in-rhyme, fantastical humor and, as with all Lizzy books, plays with made-up words. This is the third book in the award-winning "It's Just So" series (Foreword Indies Silver, Moonbeam Gold).

Far from being 'nothing,' our protagonist takes us on several adventures that walk the line between real and imagined, as we discover that his version of 'nothing' is more of a robust something than anything we or his mom could have imagined.
