From Booklist
An unnamed young rabbit accidentally opens a deep hole in his bathroom and falls in. He lands in a prehistoric land where he is immediately chased by dinosaurs and is worshipped as a god by a village of prehistoric rabbits. After a monster captures the rabbits, he embarks on a mission to rescue them. Along the way he encounters Willie, the man who operates the robotic monster and who plans to use the rabbit hero’s bottle of barbecue sauce to start a chain of prehistoric fast-food joints to feed his millions of slaves. The problem is, what are these cryptic ingredients listed on the label of the sauce? Craddock, who is also the artist of Manga Claus (2006), brings a brightly colored, zany cartoon quality to the story and art, with the hero rabbit falling into one peril after another. The proposed fast-food empire is just the kind of plot that young readers can follow; reading this book is just as fun as watching Saturday morning cartoons. Grades 3-5. --Kat Kan

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
I like it because it's about a long time ago but not really, because he kind of falls through a portal in a hole under the rug in his bathroom. He goes into a world that most of the people there are rabbits and only one is a person. And finally when he gets back to the regular world one of the things that's funny is that one of the rabbits had a boomerang and then the person on the news had the same boomerang and that's why I like it. Good for kids 4-10.
Format:Paperback
My 8yr old son has been reading these books for about a year and has continued to enjoy them. He borrowed them from the library and has requested them for his personal collection. He likes the art, story lines and humor of the tale = )
5.0 out of 5 stars

Format:Paperback
Stone Rabbit is in his bathroom trying to get some crud out of his teeth. It isn't exactly his day, but when he pulled up a tile in his bathroom he found something very odd. "You'd think I'd know if there was a bottomless pit of doom in the middle of my bathroom-." He fell in the pit (along with his bottle of barbecue sauce) only to find himself being pursued by many dinosaur-like creatures. Next he plopped into a pool of water only to find even weirder creatures sweeping down from the skies and rising up to the surface of the water looking for their lunch. He escaped into a world of other stone rabbits who worshiped and spoiled him.
Unfortunately, he and a little kid who was bugging him ended up in a cage right along with his worshipers. His funky looking captor was nasty, but at least he could speak English. Some melonhead in charge of the slaves wondered who he was. Stone Rabbit's barbecue sauce, which happened to fall into the pit with him, held some sort of fascination for that melonheaded Neanderthal man named Willie. "And with this power, I shall rule all that I see!" He was going to "offer top-quality foods at a low, low price to the common working caveman." Yeah, right, but Stone Rabbit just wanted to get out of there. How would he escape the Neanderthal and those wild creatures?!
This is an action packed graphic novel that will leave the reader with a humorous visual experience. This book is very colorful and busy and will capture the attention of any youngster with even a modicum of imagination. A math book may be left behind on the counter, but this one will make its way into the knapsack! The reluctant and/or visual reader will love this one.
