Brenda Allison reads Best Bunny Brother Ever

0:19 Good evening. My name is Brenda Allison with Coen Pilot Club. Tonight I'm going to be reading Best

0:26 Bunny Brother Ever. Honey Bunny Bunny Bunny loved her big brother PJ from the day they first met.

0:38 PJ knew how to make her laugh. He loved to play with her and gave her big hugs

0:44 when she cried. BJ loved Honey Bunny, too. He was there when she took her first step and said

0:52 her first words. He was also happy to see her. Then one day, Honey Bunny's mom and dad

1:02 took her to her first baseball game. The Woodland Warriors were playing the Pine

1:07 Cone Pacers, and PJ was a pacer. Pine Cone Pacers are the best. They are

1:15 better than the rest, cheered their fans. But no one cheered as loudly as

1:20 Honey Bunny. "Go PJ!" she shouted as PJ stepped up to the plate. It was the

1:27 first pitch of the game. Crack! PJ hit the ball and it sailed over the fence. "Home run!" shouted the

1:36 crowd. And just like that, Honey Bunny fell in love with a game of baseball.

1:44 "Can you teach me how to play baseball?" Honey Bunny asked PJ after the game.

1:50 "You're too young to play baseball," said PJ. "But I can teach you how to

1:54 play te-ball. Early the next morning, Honey Bunny knocked on PJ's bedroom door. She was

2:02 dressed and ready for te-ball. "Before you play," said PJ. "You need to warm up. Stretch your arms high," he

2:10 said. "Then touch your toes. Step your right leg forward, then bend your at the knee. Step your left leg

2:19 forward, then bend at the knee. Now we do jumping jacks like this." said

2:25 PJ. Good job, Honey Bunny. Every day, PJ taught Honey Bunny something new. And

2:33 every day, Honey Bunny got better and better. He taught her how to bat. Step

2:39 up to the plate with the feet apart, said PJ. Bend your knees and keep your

2:43 eye on the ball, then swing. Honey Bunny swung and missed. She tried again. This time, she kept her eye on

2:52 the ball and hit it. Nice swing, said PJ. PJ taught her how to run the bases.

3:01 First base, second base, third base, and home plate. Home plate is where you

3:06 score a point, said PJ. In baseball, a point is called a run. He taught her how to throw a ball. Keep

3:18 your eye on the target, bring your arm back, then throw, he said. He taught her

3:23 how to catch balls that bounce across the field and balls that fly through the

3:28 air. "Nice catch," said PJ. Honey Bunny was a fast learner. She was ready for a

3:34 real game. The next day, PJ took Honey Bunny to meet Coach Chuck and the Timber

3:42 tornadoes T-ball team. "We would love to have you on our team," said Coach Chuck.

3:48 "Here, be here first thing in the morning. were playing the woodland whirlwinds. That night, Honey Bunny's dad made a

3:58 special dinner to celebrate. "We're very proud of you for working so hard," said

4:03 her mom. "You're terrific at T-ball." And her brother, said her brothers and sisters.

4:12 The next morning, all the players gathered on the field. Honey Bunny was nervous, but she was also very excited.

4:20 Timber tornadoes are the best. They are better than the rest, cheered the tornado fans. But no one cheered louder

4:28 than PJ. Go Honey Bunny, he shouted as it was an exciting game. There were

4:36 throws, there were hits, there were catches. Both teams ran the bases, but no one scored a run.

4:44 It was the last ending of the game. "Go Honey Bunny!" shouted PJ as his sister

4:49 stepped up to the plate. Whack! Honey Bunny hit the ball and it bounced across

4:55 the field where no whirlwind could catch it. Honey Bunny ran past first base. She ran

5:04 past second base. She ran past third base. Then she ran to her favorite base

5:10 of all, home plate. The timber tornadoes beat the woodland whirlwinds by one run. Everyone cheered.

5:19 And at that moment, Honey Bunny's heart filled with thanks for how hard she had

5:24 worked, for her family, and for her teammates. But most of all, Honey Bunny was

5:35 thankful for PJ. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you, she said. You're the

5:40 best brother bunny a bunny could ever have. Good night, boys and girls. Sweet

5:49 dreams.
