5.0 out of 5 stars
A light hearted look at domesticated rabbits., October 19, 2007
This review is from: Disapproving Rabbits (Paperback)
Not since Alice chased the ever elusive white rabbit down the rabbit hole has the furry mammal achieved such literary notice. Unlike Alice's white rabbit, these rabbits do not wear a watch or a waistcoat...and, I don't believe they are late for anything. Nevertheless they do have a charismatic flair about them. Their facial expressions say it all. Of course, the author amusingly attaches her own facial translations to each picture. She is witty and the rabbits are just, well, themselves. I'm glad they aren't posed in dangerously precarious situations in order to get a laugh. No, they are being the rabbits that they are within their normal everyday domesticated life. That in itself makes the book even more uniquely clever. Set it on your coffee table and entertain your guests with this whimsical conversation starter.

None of US disapprove, October 21, 2007
This review is from: Disapproving Rabbits (Paperback)
This book is 170 pictures of sour, disapproving rabbits, including their snide comments. One of our rabbits, Benson, disapproved so much he ate pages 85 and 86. If you are sour after working your way through, well, you are probably not human.
CHICO, THE BEDROOM RABBIT, AND I LAUGHED ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT. THE CAPTIONS WERE GREAT, THE PICTURES AMAZING!
We have a rabbit named The Princess who is a close ringer for the page 38 model, and I know my insufficiencies wound her to the core - she has a "look" to readily let me know.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE A GUY, PLUS YOU DON'T READ HER MIND FAST ENOUGH. YOU COULD PRACTICE ON ME.
Uh, I don't think so. Anyway, the 12 rabbits in our house took a vote and would have given it 5 carrots if pages 85 and 86 had not been defaced. They all disapprove so easily.
AND THEY ALSO SAID "HOORAY FOR SHARON!" FOR CREATING A BOOK ABOUT RABBITS THAT IS FUNNY. RABBITS ARE VERY FUNNY. AND CLEVER. NOW ALL 12 ARE VIBRATING WITH ANTICIPATION FOR SHARON'S NEXT BOOK, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BE EVEN MORE ABOUT RABBITS.
If you like rabbits you will like this book. If you don't like this book, well, we disapprove.
WHO COULD NOT LIKE RABBITS? DOGS AND CATS ARE SO "LAST YEAR!" THIS IS THE TIME OF THE RABBIT. LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN!

Hysterical, October 22, 2007
This review is from: Disapproving Rabbits (Paperback)
I bought this book at the store last week and am going to buy a bunch more off of Amazon because it's side-splittingly funny. The pictures are a hoot and the captions are so humorous. I, too, am going to give these away for the holidays. And I don't own nor have I ever owned a rabbit. Everyone can appreciate this book!
