Book Description

October 28, 2008

Avoid the messy confrontations that accompany delivering bad news personally and let one of these cute baby animal postcards deliver the devastating message for you.

Are you afraid to tell your girlfriend that her ass looks fat? Do you need to explain to your nephew that dreams don't come true? Why not let a cute, fuzzy bunny do it for you! We understand how hard it is to tell someone that you're sleeping with his wife, so let a photograph of a duckling sleeping on a teddy bear soften the blow. These perforated postcards answer all of your cowardly prayers—you'll finally be able to tell the truth without ever conquering your fear of confrontation. Let these adorable baby animals supply a silver lining to any bad situation and avoid, a long, tearful afternoon explaining why daddy's never coming home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the funniest baby animal book ever. Ever. November 5, 2008
Format:Paperback
I picked this book up thinking "Oh, puppy!" Then I read the title. After 3 pages I was laughing so hard I was trying not to snort. Then my husband joined me and similarly lost it. I snorted about half way through the book, causing most of the store to look at me. When asked by said husband how much the book was I replied, "It doesn't matter, whatever it is is worth it." I plan on sending out all these wonderful little post cards, and then buying another book to keep around forever. If you have issues with confrontation, or just really dislike the people you know, this books for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic gift for real friends December 2, 2008
Format:Paperback
Seriously, this is a perfect gift for friends. I am buying them for all my friends for the holidays. It's also a perfect book to have on the coffee table. Nothing's better for awkward silences then to have a book that has little puppies with a quote "it's not me, it's you." While I might never send these to anyone (and I hope I never have syphillis) it's a fantastic idea and a perfect gift for those who know how to laugh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read, Laugh, Mail, Laugh Some More February 14, 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a book of 40 postcards, each with a cute picture of one or more animals and an edgy "bad news" message. They are hit-you-in-the-gut funny. My top five favorites are:

- Your baby's ugly
- You're my least favorite child
- You're the father
- You're not the father
- Your band sucks

I'm gonna get some mileage out of this one. After everyone in the family laughs their way through it, I'll take it into the office and pass it around in one of those "check your name off" folders we use to get birthday cards signed. Then I'll mail a few postcards.

I'll suggest a quick look through the book if you buy it in a store. The postcards are kind of easy to tear out.

If your friends are a little not right in the head, like mine are. They will love to get these postcards or you can just keep it as a coffee table book.

Hysterically funny, great gift. For appreciators of dark and cheeky, slightly offensive (to some) humor.
