Kindergarten-Grade 2?The Dumb Bunnies get ready on December 24th to celebrate Easter by hanging a Merry Halloween sign with shamrocks on it, buying an Easter tree, spray-painting fried eggs, and waiting for Santa, who arrives in a red minivan pulled by eight flying pilgrims. Such goofiness makes for a fun read, and that's why Harry Allard and James Marshall were so successful with the Stupids (Houghton). There is absolutely nothing new here, however, except that the characters are rabbits. The style of art is much like Marshall's; even the page outlines and type are the same. At first glance, one would swear this is another installment of Space Case (Dial, 1980). For Marshall's many fans, it may be a welcome story; however, be forewarned that it falls short of the inspired silliness of the Stupids.?Christine A.

Ages 5-7. The Bunny family is a worthy successor to those all-time favorites the Stupids. Here, the bunnies have some holiday problems. For example, they expect the Easter Bunny to come in a "shiny red minivan pulled by eight flying pilgrims." Their glorious ability to get every single thing wrong will leave preschoolers in stitches. The illustrations--done by an artist who describes his medium as "watercolors, India ink, acrylics, and Hamburger Helper"--match the story perfectly: pink, buck-toothed, and round in the middle, the bunnies are goofy indeed. This is dumbness supreme and a real treat.
