"Wicked funny. And, we do mean wicked..Anyone, though, whose humor isn't inhibited by decency will laugh so hard that flipping through might constitute an ab workout..The stocking stuffer this holiday season." (Daily News )

Product Description

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

By	A. Foster "Klickikat" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

By	R. Kurland (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, for Sure!, June 8, 2009

By	D. Germain (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These were very well made. Wish that the title page were actually a card you could SEND, though. It was not. Very funny, nonetheless.
