 Wordful Wednesday: Who wrote Little Bunny Foo Foo?


"Little Bunny Foo Foo is a children's poem, involving a rabbit harassing a population of field mice. The rabbit is scolded and eventually punished by a fairy. Like many traditional folk songs, there are multiple versions with differing variations. It is also known under the alternative name Little Rabbit Foo Foo; "Foo Foo" is sometimes spelled as "Fu Fu". The poem is sung to the tune of Down By The Station.
The rhyme is usually sung by an older person to a younger child, using a repetitive tune that reinforces the meter, accompanied by hand gestures. In this mode of transmission, it is a form of tickle play that teaches and reinforces motor skills, often passed as childlore.
One of the more popular versions of the song is as follows:
Little bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head
Down came the Good Fairy, and she said
"Little bunny Foo Foo
I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head."
(Book by Michael Rosen and song by Paul Brett Johnson)

  1. This is one story/rhyme I do not remember hearing? I love your bunny puppets, I bet the grandkids will too. I like to watch the real bunnies in our wild acre, as we put out bird seed & everyone enjoys it, LOL.

  2. I worked as a director for a girls camp for several years and the kids loved to sing Little Bunny Foo Foo. It is cute but now it's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. :)
