Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4. The animals of Brer Village are doing just fine until Boss Lion moves in and starts eating everyone in sight. After a few days, the folks get together to do something about it, and fast-talking Brer Rabbit volunteers to take on the carnivore. His bravado fails him when he is faced with the beast, and the villagers end up providing Boss Lion with fresh meat?literally. When it's Brer Rabbit's turn to become a part of the lion's diet, the wily hare uses the brute's worst traits as a weapon against him. Kessler's narrative is packed with humorous wordplay and written in a rolling, storytelling style. Mayer's bright, cartoon illustrations capture the mood of the story, depicting the sassy Brer Rabbit particularly well?this is a bunny with attitude. The tale reads well alone, but Danny Glover's taped interpretation, backed by brash and brassy music by Dr. John, enhances the experience immeasurably. This will be a popular pick for books-on-tape fans.?Donna L. Scanlon, Lancaster County Library, PA

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great resource for storytelling!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brer Rabbit and Boss Lion (Paperback)
I have read this book to my 3rd grade students and they love the illustrations. I also used it as a springboard for telling the story of Brer Rabbit and Boss Lion without using the book. My students enjoyed a storytelling performance of the Brer Rabbit tales as well as reading the book...
