Editorial Reviews

Fans of the licensed character, Happy Bunny, here making its book debut, will welcome the irreverent It's Happy Bunny Love Bites by Jim Benton. The long-eared fellow offers such advice as "Show that cutey-patootey your smart and sensitive side" while a cartoon with thought balloon shows the suitor attempting to seduce with the lines, "Roses are red./ Violets are blue./ Your butt's funny looking,/ but I think you'll do." Who could resist? Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Publishers Weekly

This is a strange little book and one that is appropriate for older readers. Happy Bunny has an unusual way of expressing his fondness or affection for someone and is often unlucky in love. His advice is to be taken with a grain of salt to say the least and his advice may cause more distress than success. The left hand page offers the advice and the right hand page shows how Happy Bunny executes and why he fails. It is a little bit racy and it does use language that some may feel inappropriate for kids, but nothing that they and you haven't heard. Good for a laugh, but not recommended as a Valentine's gift unless you know your special someone really well. 2005, Scholastic, Ages 12 up.
