Bunny and his chipmunk friend Clyde are tired of being good, so they decide to be rotten to the core.  Unfortunately for them, even when they try to be bad, it doesn’t quite work out like they planned and their bad deeds end up being helpful. This short chapter book is designed for young readers who are just beginning to read chapter books independently or with a little support.  The font is large and there is a lot of space between the lines, consistent with books for newer readers.  There is also repetition in the dialogue between the characters which will help readers with fluency.  Children will enjoy these two characters and the messes they try to get into.  Black and white drawings from Maine resident Scott Nash add humor to the story while helping to break up the text.  This book would be a fun addition to a library that serves early elementary children.
