PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A rabbit attempts to follow its dream of becoming a ninja in this quirky testament to friendship and the difficulty of going it alone. Dressed in inky blue ninja gear, the rabbit gamely tackles the instructions in a book entitled How to Be a Super Awesome Ninja, but they prove to be harder than they sound. Olson's (The Good Dog) text sticks to the book's 10 key rules, while her ink-and-watercolor illustrations demonstrate the gulf between the book's mandates and the rabbit's actual skills. The wannabe ninja's attempt to follow the second rule, "You must be super sneaky," falls through when it steps on a rake while raiding a garden's carrots, and it doesn't exactly "achieve invisibility" with its ears sticking out from behind a bush. Rule 10 ("A super awesome ninja must battle anyone anywhere anytime alone") and an encounter with a humongous bear have the bunny rethinking the guidebook's advice; luckily, its "super awesome friends" help save the day. Sweetly humorous fun for readers working on their own "hi-yahs." Ages 3 7.
