My Thoughts

This is a tale about a bully that would not stop being mean to everyone.  No one was brave enough to make him stop. Finally they decided to post an advertisement for someone to come stop Lion and his bullying ways.  Several animals came from afar to challenge Lion but they all failed. 

Then Rabbit appeared and was positive that he could  stop Lion's bullying. 

Rabbit challenged Lion to many physical and mental challenges.  

Do you think that a mere rabbit can outwit a lion? 

Rabbit devised a plan and thought it through.  I don't approve of cheating, but in this case It was all for a good cause and many benefited from the rabbits help.  Notice that I did not add an apostrophe in rabbits.  A little hidden joke.  You will have to read the story to find out my meaning.

The illustrations were so very cute and colorful which will have you wanting to flip through the page and wanting to read the book over and over again.

I highly recommend this book.

I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
