A Job For Mr Bunny

A Job For Mr Bunny cover

Tooth Fairy has managed to convince the Easter Bunny that it's his fault that children's teeth fall out.

It's all that chocolate, you see. And now he's dispappeared.

In his absence, some very unlikely characters are looking to apply for the newly vacant post.

But with Sergeant Pickles and Constable Spoon on his tail, it can only be a matter of time before he's found. Providing, of course, that Sergeant Pickles doesn't lose all his teeth to his weakness for barley sugars.

Reinforcing the messages that it's important to look after your teeth and to eat healthily, this comedy will entertain both children and adults alike.

With music this show runs at about 60 minutes and is suitable for children aged between 8 and 14.

    An extract from scene 4 - Mr Bunny Doing a Bit of Supply teaching

    Bunny: (Pointing to Kyle.) Yes, and who are you?
    Kyle: Kyle. Carbohydrates.
    Bunny: Well Kyle Carbohydrates, can you tell me one of the main food groups?
    Kyle: (Crossly.) My name’s Kyle; carbohydrates is the name of the food group.
    Bunny: Oh no, I don’t think so. I thought you’d done this. Can anyone tell me the three main food groups?
    (Nobody puts their hand up.)
    Bunny: No? Well, (he counts these off on his fingers, if your Bunny costume allows this) the most important food group is chocolate. Then there’s marshmallow flumps, and finally there’s gummy bears. Now, we get most of our nutrition from chocolate, but...
    (Alex has his hand up.)
    Bunny: Yes, it’s Alex, isn’t it?
    Alex: Excuse me, sir, but that’s not right. We did this with Mr Trump last week, and I remember the three main food groups are fats, protein and carbohydrates.
    Bunny: I think you’ll find it’s chocolate, flumps and gummy bears. As I was saying, we get most of our nutrition from chocolate, but we also need the squdginess of flumps to make our ears long and furry and the gumminess of gummy bears to make our whiskers cute and whiskery.      		 (Tilly has her hand up.)
    Bunny: Yes, er...?
    Tilly: Tilly. We haven’t got longs ears or whiskers.
    Bunny: That’s because you haven’t been eating up your flumps and gummy bears.
    Alex: (Calling out.) But sweets are really bad for you. Mr Trump said.
    Bunny: And where is Mr Trump today?
    Luke: He’s ill. He’s got the mumps.
    Bunny: Ah, well you see, Mr Trump’s mumps are caused by a lack of flumps. Flump deficiency is often followed by the lumps and bumps of mumps.
    Vicky: That’s just silly. You’re just saying that ‘cos it rhymes.
    Alex: It’s vitamins and things that stop you getting poorly.
    Bunny: Vitamins?
    Alex: Yeah, from fruit and vegetables and that. We did a poster.
    Bunny: So why do we need gummy bears?
    Kyle: We don’t need gummy bears.
    Vicky: I’m not allowed gummy bears: they make me go all funny.
