it was amazing
bookshelves: how-picture-book

I knew just looking at the cover of the book that I would love it. It's so matter of fact and the bear has such a deadpan look on his face that I just knew it was going to be good. For the first couple of pages I was worried that maybe I was wrong but as soon as I saw the rabbit I was sold.

I'm not really sure this is much of a kids' book though. This kind of dry humor with a dark ending is very adult and the minimal wording and simplistic pictures are perfect. It's is totally my kind of humor and I actually laughed out loud twice. But as a child I would have been disturbed by the ending if I was old enough to see through the subtext and bored if I weren't. I think there are a lot of overly sensitive moms who would convince themselves that their children would be upset by subtext they wouldn't get. So if you are one of those moms, stay away.

However, if you like your humor like Bond likes his martinis then you'll love this book.
