Product Description

Edward Gorey meets The Bunny Suicides in a murderously funny tale from the creator of ItÂ’s Happy Bunny

From the creator of the hugely successful ItÂ’s Happy Bunny franchise comes a little piece of work named Cherise, who may be, it turns out, a not-so-nice niece. In the tradition of Edward GoreyÂ’s The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Jim BentonÂ’s first adult picture book, with hilarious rhymes and illustrations, is a darkly comic masterpiece of the macabre.

“She was orphaned quite young In a mysterious way, Her parents just up and vanished one day.”

The bloody footprints leading out of CheriseÂ’s bedroom are the first clue that perhaps the little darling with the bow in her hair is not an angel. As Cherise is shuttled from one auntÂ’s home to another, her aunts vanish, meeting inventive and hysterical ends. With a killer punch line on its final page, Jim BentonÂ’s Cherise the Niece will leave readers laughing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rather dull, January 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The bored/tired look of Cherise accompanied with uninspiring rhymes just makes this an empty read.
