I bought this book as a gift for a friend's birthday. Lucky for me, someone else had also given her the book. I was able to quietly slip the FUP portion of my present out of the gift-bag, and I greedily kept it for myself! The friend in question had originally introduced me to the FUP website, which regularly makes my day by making me laugh out loud. I am not talking about just a giggle or a chortle. I am talking about milk-coming-out-of-your-nose-during-junior-high-lunch kind of laughter. Mr. Gasteier's recent blog challenge of a hyrax to a throw-down actually caused me to fall out of my chair laughing. Mr. Gasteier has delivered a delightful bound version of his sarcastic takes on cute animal photos. His bravery in the face of their incessant adorableness is to be lauded. Buy this book for anyone with a sense of humor, no fear of swearing, and a healthy disdain for things best described as 'precious.'

I've been reading the blog for a while, but this book is even more hilarious! The author's "schtick" is that he resents the power of cuteness that animals have over us, so he gives them the gripe-out they deserve. Yet in the end, the author always succumbs to the power of the cute.

Helpful tips about each animal included, to help us avoid their manipulative cute propaganda.

A must have, and the type of picture book that you'll read over and over. Since each 2-page spread has an image and text about one animal, you can start and stop reading without losing any value.

I like to read this over breakfast, so I can get my day started with my three favorite things: Cute animals, foul language, and sarcasm.

I read this while sitting on the floor at Barnes and Nobles. My friend pulled it out, because she liked the title, haha, and I flipped to a random page. This page bashed those adorable squirrels! This is a cute book, but has ALOT of bad language, i read f*** like 5 times on on page, just in a small paragraph! I enjoyed it, but its defiantly for dark senses of humor!

Cute pictures, hilarious, sarcastic, conversation piece ... Entertaining for anyone with a sense of humor!

Finally... a book telling cute, adorable, wide-eyed things what's what. You don't own this world!.. and you're not the boss of me!!!! Now stop staring at me with those great big doe eyes!!! STOP IT!!!

This book was pretty funny and got quite a few giggles out of me. Sadly, I should of put it down and read it in chunks. The style got to me after a while. Kind of like Lewis Black's angry rants, it just became too much. Small doses would have been better. Worth reading, but glad I checked it out from the library (freeeee!!)

Recieved order on time, this book is a quick way to make anyone smile. A hillarious way to insult our favorite animal friends. Not a kids book contains colorful language! :) must read!!

Short book but absolutely hilarious! Finally someone is brave enough to take on all those adorable animals out there! =D

This book is not only on target, but so funny I laughed out loud until my cheeks hurt.

It was funny and I enjoyed the pictures but it got a little repetative after a while.
