This interesting story pits the reader against an energetic bunny who has no patience. As the story opens, the bunny is pleased to see the reader is back, cheering and carrying on. However, that excitement wears off and the interrogations begin. Then some guilt trips and sob stories, all as I writer watches the bunny lose its fur over not being #1. Funny enough, the reader is pushed into promises and requirements, only to have the bunny show its true colours.

Apr 13, 2011 David rated it it was amazing You're Finally Here! by Mélanie Watt is another winner among books that
break the fourth wall and directly address the reader. A very cute, enthusiastic bunny celebrates the reader finally ariving. Her can't stop himself from wanting to know "Where were you???" and cmoplaining over his rude treatment. After presenting a contract for the reader to sign, promising to stay forever, he ignores the reader while taking cellphone calls until he realizes the reader is leaving. A very funny, silly look at A very funny, silly look at how
children feel ignored at times. It is also a classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do." A great commentary on being self centered, including cell phone conduct. This is one hyper, melodramatic bunny. The text is funny and detailed. The layout is reminescent of Mo Willems Pigeon book with panels where rabbit goes into detail about how long he waited and how bored he was waiting for the reader. The illustrations are hillarious, with the eyebrows and eyes being amazingly expressive. The
how long rabbit waited includes long enough for paint to dry (showing bench paint marks on rabbit's back) and long enough to gather dust bunnies (one looks just like (his) Uncle Vern). A boring meter show the top reading: Bored up to my ears!!! The twist with the cell phone is very funny. For ages kindergarten and up, read-aloud, manners, funny themes, and for fans of Melanie Watt.
Sep 25, 2017 Wilder rated it it was ok If I wanted to be this irritated by someone berating me, demanding all my time, and then ignoring me, I'm sure there are lots of places I could find that. This character had no appeal visually or intellectually. Therefore, I'm just tense for no good reason. Some kids might
like this sort of chatty book, and it gives some good examples and vocabulary for being bored, annoyed, and irritated. It just wasn't worth it to me. Some kids might like this sort of chatty

As the garrulous lapine narrator of You're Finally Here! informs the reader, they get bored 'up to their ears,' and fume at our rudeness. When we finally arrive, they dance with joy, and then demand to know where we've been... Although I don't think that this title would work very well as a read-aloud for story-hour, in a one-on-one situation, I think children will find it quite amusing. I know I did, and
appreciated the aggravated little bunny's clever breakdown of his emotional state, complete with a paneled progression, and lots of amusing examples. Melánie Watt's characters like to make lists (Scaredy Squirrel, anyone?), and to take control of the narrative (Chester!), and this little bunny does both!
Well, I had high hopes for this book since it is by Melanie Watt, but ultimately I didn't enjoy it as much as i thought I would. I think kids will like it just fine because it does have that
playful, talk to the reader mentality that her other books have. I think I was just disappointed it didn't have more of a story.The little bunny is talking to the reader because they are so glad the reader is finally here.

Not as good as Scaredy Squirrel, but still a cute little book. I actually found the rabbit in this book to be a little more annoying than necessary.
I love Melanie Watt! This book does not disappoint - I think it'd be a great back to school book. However, I do like some of her other titles such as, Have I Got a Book for You, a little better.

The psychotic bunny is kind of funny, in a rather Mo Willems Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus fashion. However, it's not as funny as the Chester books which are just hilarious. This is certainly more of a performance book that may lack in an individual, silent reading. The expressions are engaging and the situations well thought-out for comic impression but I don't understand some of the jumps from angry bunny to nice bunny- there somehow seems to be lacking an impetus for him/her to try the d The psychotic bunny is kind of funny, in a rather Mo Willems Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus fashion.

The expressions are engaging and the situations well thought-out for comic impression but I don't understand some of the jumps from angry bunny to nice bunny- there somehow seems to be lacking an impetus for him/her to try the different tactic. I really wasn't big on the style of the art. Despite the heavy-handed use of texture, the digital art still feels too slick and cartoon like. Unfortunately it ends up feeling a bit soulless, especially when compared to Mo Willems pigeon which has a wild exuberance, perhaps due to the unpredictability of Willem's pencil lines. Still, You're Finally Here is worth checking out for the metafictive interaction and sense of play, even if it's not of the same classic status that Chester and Pigeon achieve. ...more

They also loved all of his different emotions about us the readers arriving. My kids took
turns to guess what emotion they think the bunny had on every page. I loved that I could use this book to talk about being patient and how being patient can bring joy. It's a great book and it keeps kids attention on the book rather then else where. Make sure you check this book out.

Nov 21, 2013 Melanie H. rated it really liked it French-Canadian children's author/illustrator, Melanie
Watt, returns with a very Willems-like story. Readers are greeted by a bobblehead-style rabbit who is rather excited that the reader is finally here! Many aspects of waiting and patience are discussed, making this a great story for teaching patience. Waiting, boredom, unfairness, annoyance and rudeness are all part of this story. On several occasions the rabbit reminds himself that his reproachfulness of the reader is rather rude in itself. H On several occasions the rabbit reminds himself that his reproachfulness
of the reader is rather rude in itself. He tries to alter his behavior accordingly. There are many opportunities for storytime participants to interact with the story. Very like Mo Willems "Elephant and Piggie" books, the dynamic text encourage excitement and rather over the top reading. A good book for storytime. Make sure to be familiar with the story before a reading as there are many boxes and text bubbles to be aware of. Great for one-on-one reading.

I think it's unconscionable when puppets make jokes to little kids about not liking school, or when President Bush tells the world he doesn't like eating broccoli; and Melanie Watt, I take issue with you telling my kids that having to go to bed and having to eat a brussels sprout is unfair!

Oct 02, 2012 Tiffany Bates rated it it was amazing You're finally here! Is an absolutely
adorable book. The bunny is excited that the reader has finally shown up to read the book but ends up getting angry. The bunny questions the readers on where they were. At the end of the book bunny answers the phone and ignores the reader and is sad that the reader is leaving. I loved that the bunny was talking directly to the reader. It was a good way to keep the kids interested. I would recommend it for preschool to second grade. It is really funny and wil I would recommend it for preschool to
second grade. It is really funny and will keep the younger kids entertained but for the older kids it has a good lesson about patience and being a good friends. Due to the bunny talking to the reader it will keep the younger kids focused and wondering what the bunny will say next and the older kids relating to the problems the bunny talks about.

He says he’ll stop asking what took so long if the reader signs a contract agreeing to never leave. The rabbit then answers multiple phone calls, ignoring the
reader. This push-pull engages the reader, who concludes that he or she was right to leave the obnoxious rabbit unread in the book. As a parent of a kid who often argues against himself, even if he's got what he wants, the rabbit is a familiar character. I think the unlikeable character of the rabbit works well to place children in a mindset that their parents might often be in.

how bored he becomes. Eventually, is wait is over and the bunny does not want you to leave. Are you going to stay?

Melanie Watt's stories are famous for talking directly to their readers. This style engages children and appeals to their imaginations. As in
her Chester books, You're Finally Here is written as a frank conversation between its character and the reader (who cannot get a word in!).

Tries for a "Cow and Pig" feel, winds up more annoying than Hoops and Yoyo, but I'm speaking more from an adult point of view, here. Kids? Kids may very well love
this and demand it be read many times, they seem to do that. But you, as a parent, are probably going to regret this book by the middle of the first reading. A rabbit berates you for showing up late to the book. It flips between demanding to know where you are and insisting you get to hanging out, until you get to the "twist" ending. I n A rabbit berates you for showing up late to the book. It flips between demanding to know where you are and insisting you get to hanging out, until you get to the "twist" ending. I normally advise parents to check out a book from the library to try it, first, but be careful
with this one. Read it on your own, without kids, and see if you can stand it enough to read multiple times. I surely can't.

review: CUTE!!!!! If I was attacked by this bunny every time I was late, I would NEVER be late again. The drawings are perfectly fitting for the story and I love the twist at the end. How appropriate. 5 stars!
It speaks directly to the reader which I think kids would like. It seemed to be too repetitive for me. I would have liked it better if it had gone into a bit of
a storyline. Something with character, setting, and plot. I could have tied the whole audience and storyline together in developing a story and used this with both primary as well as older students. Just did not grab me enough to make my list. It is similar to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, but why not stick to the original? Just did not grab me enough to make my list.

Watt has also illustrated Where Does a Tiger-Heron Spend the Night? and Bearcub

Mélanie's best known book Scaredy Squirrel, has won many awards including the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award for Children's Picture Book and the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award. The release of Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend, was met with enthusiastic reviews and incredible sales, confirming the arrival of kid lit's newest superstar. Chester,Chester's Back! and Chester's Masterpiece are about a
megalomaniac cat who is every bit the antithesis to Scaredy. Chester has already become a bestseller and shows the breadth and creativity of Mélanie Watt. Scaredy returns to take a few more tentative steps out of his comfort zone in Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach and Scaredy Squirrel at Night. Mélanie has often noted how the Scaredy Squirrel books helped her work out her own insecurities and fears, as the success of these titles has required her to venture out into the unknown, and like
Scaredy she has found the experience truly uplifting. Mélanie currently resides near Montreal, Quebec. ~From http://www.kidscanpress.com/creators/... News & InterviewsTime is ticking!
