“Watch out, Mr. McGreely! The pesky trio of bun­nies from Mun­cha! Mun­cha! Mun­cha! are back in this con­tin­u­ing adven­ture. Mr. McGreely wants to take a beach day to get away from the rab­bits. Read­ers will quick­ly guess who’s going to stow away in the back­seat of the car. They even ‘click, clack, snap’ the three seat­belts in the style of imi­ta­tion ono­matopoeia, which pep­pers the entire sto­ry. Admir­ers of Karas’s sig­na­ture folksy illus­tra­tions will not be dis­ap­point­ed with the live­ly and whim­si­cal depic­tions of Mr. McGreely being mild­ly dis­mayed to find the stow­aways have fol­lowed him. Once again, he is plagued by a case of bun­nies, who have a pen­chant for turn­ing every plea­sur­able, mun­dane­ly beachy activ­i­ty, such as shell-find­ing, into an intense com­pe­ti­tion, leav­ing poor McGreely infu­ri­at­ed and out­matched. He tries surf­ing and sinks as the bun­nies sing, ‘cowa-bun­ny!’ He is los­ing the sand cas­tle con­test and even starts to cry, until the bun­nies save the day by lend­ing a hand to the reluc­tant and down­trod­den gar­den­er. All togeth­er, bun­nies and man work on the epic sand cas­tle until McGreely is declared the win­ner, final­ly grin­ning and exclaim­ing, ‘Now THAT …  was fun!’ Appro­pri­ate for read-alouds and beach-themed lessons.
