Rabbits Books

This is a great book, for surfers and non-surfers alike. An exciting and humorous, and at times sad, book to read. Rabbit's life is a series of twists and turns and very human mistakes. I especially liked the stories of his first trip to the Hawaiian Islands, North Shore. I was laughing a lot and couldn't put the book down. A good chronicle of the "Aussie Invasion" of the mid-1970's, and all of the crazy stuff that happened during that time.Pro Surfing nowadays seems very tame in comparison. And to think, Rabbit Bartholomew is now the President of the ASP!

If you've ever gone out at 5 in the morning to catch a wave before school. Or gone out during lunch break even if it's flat. You'll love this book. Nuff said.

The Church Mice and Sampson (the Church Cat) hitch a ride with the Vicar when he heads off for a seaside holiday. Of course this goes horribly wrong, and they find themselves stranded. (Interestingly, the holiday is set in Graham Oakley's home town of Lyme Regis, and the shops and seafront are real.)

As usual, this book is full of amazingly detailed pictures, and has a wickedly fun story. It's not the best of the Church Mice books, but I wouldn't have missed it.

Graham Oakley said in a press interview that this would probably be the last Church Mouse book he would write, but that his next project is to bring out an edition of Beauty and the Beast illustrated with Pre-Raphaelite-style paintings.

The Mice and Sampson hitch a ride with the Vicar when he heads off for a seaside holiday. Of course this goes horribly wrong, and they find themselves stranded. (Interestingly, the holiday is set in Graham Oakley's home town of Lyme Regis, and the shops and seafront in the pictures are real.) As usual, the story is full of wry English humour and wonderfully detailed pictures.

Sadly, this could be the last of the church mice series as Mr Oakley has said he's thinking of letting them retire, but it's a good innings for mice that first appeared in print in 1972.

Poor Zoe! Destined for stardom, the lead in her school play, she's forgotten how to hop. And with the Bunny Hop finale of that performance on her mind, she sets out to re-learn how.
New readers will chuckle at every page turn in this well-paced early reader from Lynn Hazen, with delightful illustrations by Elyse Pastel. Hazen uses clever puns (Grand Rabbits School!) and new twists on old tales to weave her emotionally engaging characters into a tale coordination and confidence which will hit squarely on target with its intended age group.
Hop out and buy it!

This chapter book by Lynn Hazen, illustrated by Elyse Pastel, is a charmer! It is packed with humor, emotion and encouragement. It is the perfect early reader for anyone having to deal with a class bully, or afraid of doing something. The star of this story, Zoe, is an adorable little bunny with bouncy ears, the starring role in the school play, and a fear of hopping since she got stuck in a mud puddle.
During the play, Zoe freezes. But all ends well as her buddies (bunnies?) Woody and Charlie quickly come up a plan to help her get over her fear.
The illustrations by Elyse are funny, dynamic and exprressive. A great team!

The "Classic British Rook and Rabbit rifle" is one of the best books written on that subject. Most of the major manufacturers are listed - the articles are well detailed, and easy to read - and the book is nicely illustrated with first class pictures. Well worth the price - actualy a steal for the money!!

This is an excellent reference at a bargain price!
Well written and the photos are worth the price of the book

Anyone who has faced the prospect of living abroad, then adapted to it, and ended up loving it, will be able to relate to these stories. Especially valuable for someone contemplating the prospect..and a great guide to how to get the most out of very rare opportunities. Beautifully written, clever, and entertaining throughout.

While raising two young children, the Fotis family spent five years in Egypt and Thailand with side trips to China, Burma, Nepal and India.
Mary Ned Fotis records her family's often harrowing escapades with humour, sensually vivid details and the perspective of someone who
instantly
detects and relishes cultural paradoxes, expanding them to full,glorious absurdity.

Despite the many trials that beset the family, which include thefts, broken limbs, a kidnapped servant,
tropical fevers
and a slipped disc, Mary Ned's narrative remains comforting, bemused,even exultant in the rich contradictions of the complex culture around her.
Many in our book group expressed a wish to linger over the book, savoring
its many hypnotically fluid descriptive passages. Here's one example:

Rajisthan! Sere thirsty landscape, stone walls dividing brilliant green irrigated fields from scrubby patches of brown rocky land. Cactus hedges, brown humps of hills in the background, alternating fields of green, yellow, chartreuse, brown, ochre and tan. Women are clad in brilliant hues with scarves from head top to ankles, backlighted with unearthly brilliance as they walk down the roadside, squat earthen water jars balance on their heads. A touch of Egypt in a Greek landscape with Hindu overlay. Men in dhoti loincloths walk next to others in shocking pink shirts, surrounded by children in red and gold with brass pots gleaming on their heads. How thrilling to bump and bounce through this beautiful and rugged countryside with its roving cattle and turbaned mustachioed men. Two men squat, side by side, in blue paisley turbans - each one a sari's worth of fabric wound and puffed out like an oversized Egyptian cabbage. True glory for the head! Even the most menial and insignificant head assumes dignity in such a turban

The watercolors are very nice and gentle, doesn't exactly capture the eye of the very young toddler, more for a little older crowd, very cute story!

My 2 y/o daughter loves Guess How Much I Love You so when I saw Colors Everywhere and How Big (I think that's the name of the other one--anyway there are 2 companion books) I just knew I had to get them for her. She loves them. Now every night before bed we have to read all three books.

A Day at Sherri's Luz-N-Hugs Daycare book is WONDERFUL! My daughter received this book when she was 9 years old; she is now 11 years old and still loves reading it every night! She also has the Fire Drill Practice at Luv-N-Hugs Daycare that she has brought to her daycare at school and all the kids wanted a book of their own. Kids really like the creative pictures and the fun activities. It is great for the older kids as well as the younger ones. I highly recommend this book as well as the Fire Drill one.

This is a fabulous book for preschoolers and younger. It is a typical day in a daycare with a loving daycare provider named Sherri. She is a teacher, mother, housekeeper, artist, cook, caretaker and much more. If a child is new to daycare this is a good way to break them in before they start. It is a very nice sized book with colorful artistic pages. There are good lessons in the story also. If they are in daycare it is a good present to give to your provider to read to the children. They never get tired of listening to it. My kids are 7,3, and 1 and all still love it. Wonderful gift for anyone with children ( and that includes grandparents also). Thanks for taking my review. You wont be sorry for buying it.

As with ALL of the Disney Bunnies books, this has gorgeously illustrated pages. Unlike many children's books (many which are overly stylized or simple to look at it) this is a lush, beautiful world that Thumper lives in and a joy to look at for parents. It's a simple story of a bunny who cannot sleep as he watches all of his friends and family fall into slumber, and finally succumbs to sleep himself. The book is of a very sturdy, thick quality and has a glossy sheen. Very nicely done and the simple and sweet story that encourages bedtime is a nice book to have on hand before bedtime. My 3 1/2 and 2 year old girls both love this one.

This is a short board book about a bunny who can't sleep even though all of his friends have already drifted off to dream land. My 3 year old loves for me to read it to her just before bedtime. I plan to purchase the other Thumper books.

This is a classic.
My teacher read it to me in my little church school. Now that I read it to my own students I find that I still love it and it still inspires me.
Mr. Hare had a real passion for what he was doing, God and the Karen people.

This is a fantastic, inspirational, read-aloud classic! It would especially appeal to families or young people. It now has a permanent place in my library.

This is the most charming book I have come across in years, and I can't wait to read the original in German (available now on amazon.de for about $30.) The combination of master storytelling by Dische and Enzensberger and Sowa's richly surreal art is mesmerizing. The story is light, simple, and very rewarding. You will return again and again to this story of a rabbit traveling through modern Germany. It brings back memories of my time in both East and West Germany, around the wall. When I read it, I smile and feel better.

The story of little Prince Esterhazy is so simple and charming, sure to delight young and old. We bought the book because we are huge fans of Michael Sowa's art. The illustrations are at the same time surreal and precious; a bunny trying on boxer shorts? A bunny in the bathtub? Fantastic! And the poignant story of a bunny finding love as the wall falls in Berlin is too sweet.
