From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 3-A realistic, entertaining school story about the value of listening. Harry is a wiggly child who never pays attention in class, so when Ms. Finch reads the spring play, Bunny Business, aloud and asks him what part he would like, he can't answer and is assigned the role of Funny Bunny. At a rehearsal, George, who is playing the lead, says that Harry will spoil the play. When the children make bunny ears (directions included on the last page), Harry's mind is somewhere else again, and the ears he constructs are huge, floppy, and funny looking. Embarrassed, he decides to listen better and ends up learning everyone's part by heart. On the day of the play, the star gets stage fright and Harry saves the production by filling in for him. The cartoon illustrations are brightly colored in gouache and portray an inviting and cheerful classroom. This spring story will appeal to most children, who probably know someone just like Harry.
