Getting into "a good kind of trouble!" This fourth book in the Hello, My Name is Bunny! series finds Bunny in Tokyo where her trademark curiosity leads her to escape her apartment, this time in pursuit of new friendships. She instead finds herself whisker-to-whisker with more danger than she'd imagined, including a run-in with an-imposing-looking falcon and two street cat gangs who consider her a "pampered puss" that they'd rather fight than be friends with. It takes all Bunny's courage to show them that forgiveness, helping others, and hopefulness will always win the day.

The first three award-winning books in this chapter book series are Hello, My Name is Bunny! New York City, Hello, My Name is Bunny! London, and Hello, My Name is Bunny! Paris.

Hello, My Name is Bunny! New York City was the winner of a New York City Big Book Award and a Distinguished Favorite in the Independent Press Awards in 2018. Hello, My Name is Bunny! London was a Gold Medalist in the Moonbeam Children's Book Award in 2019. Hello, My Name is Bunny! Paris was a Gold Winner in the 2023 Nautilus Book Awards.

      The fourth entry in Bloom's children's series takes Bunny the cat and readers to Tokyo. Bunny Doogle Simmons-Bloom, the lovable black-and-white cat who travels around the world with her human parents, finds herself in the colorful streets of Tokyo in this installment. There she meets Fumiko the falcon, who, after the death of her husband at the hands of humans, is convinced people are only nice to animals they find cute. Bunny then introduces herself to Haruto, a kind old man who was left blind after the "environmental damage" caused by the long- ago war between the United States and Japan. As Bunny learns some elementary Japanese and how to write haikus from Haruto, she stumbles upon the "Wild Bunch," a gang of rough-and-tumble cats who are feuding with a rival cat gang called the "Suzuki Crew." When the Wild Bunch is forced to relocate from their established home, Bunny hatches a brilliant plan for the two gangs to live together in peace. She'll have to put all her diplomatic skills to use to broker such a deal, since both sides remain highly suspicious of the other's intentions. With the same kind of simple advice and clear lessons found in the series' previous entries, Bunny encourages kids to keep going even in the face of setbacks: "What did help is knowing from experience that bad circumstances can get better if you keep trying, if you just hang in there." Readers will also learn a bit about Japanese culture, including elements of Shintoism, and gain an appreciation for where their food comes from via descriptions of the city's bustling fish market. The beautiful color illustrations by Mayell scattered throughout lend a sense of playfulness to the adventures that perfectly matches Bunny's wide-eyed innocence. A question section at the book's conclusion drives home the real-world lessons that Bunny learns. A sweet and simple tale of forgiveness that teaches kids and adults alike the value of helping others.
