Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

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.

From Booklist

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. Mary Harris Veeder

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes silliness is a virtue, too, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dumb Bunnies' Easter (Hardcover)

Every year I give my nephew a book for Easter. Last year it was "The Country Bunny and the Golden Shoes", an excellent book that I would recommend to the previous reviewer if it's an uplifting tale you're looking for. This year, however, he gets "Dumb Bunnies". Why? Because it's silly, funny, and will make him laugh out loud. And, in my opinion, it's harmless fun. Wouldn't the world be greater if we all had a little silliness in our lives?

5.0 out of 5 stars LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY FOR PARENTS AND KIDS ALIKE, February 15, 2001

This review is from: The Dumb Bunnies' Easter (Paperback)

The author of this series cleverly tapped into "stupid humor" where you cannot miss the punch line. At one point reading this book, my daughter and I were laughing so hard we were brought to tears. The humor definitely bridges the age gap and allows my daughter and I to bond over laughter. A true delight!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, non-schmaltzy children's lit, December 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dumb Bunnies' Easter (Paperback)

My nephew (6 years old) especially liked the part about baby bunny cutting the cheese (literally, running over a piece of cheese with the lawn mower, I believe).
