When a carefree bunny is approached by a voracious bear in the woods, Bunny has just one request: Please don't eat me.

This witty and poignant exploration of predator and prey will have children and parents alike roaring with laughter--and looking for their next meal. Please Dont Eat Me

A resourceful bun tries everything it can think of to keep a bear from eating it - ordering pizza, sharing dessert, pretending to get eaten in front of the bear's friends, and more. Just when the rabbit has run out of ideas and has given up, the bear makes a surprising announcement.

First, I'd like to thank Hachette Book Group Canada for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! I've been loving the books they've been releasing lately, and this one definitely has been put on my top list for children's books!

I definitely loved this story! Of course with it being a children's story, it's a short and quick read! I personally think that this could be a great story when it's read out loud to a class using funny voices!

Let's talk about the illustrations. I thought they were simple but oh so cute! With the writing (Since it's just the bunny and bear dialogue only) and the illustrations together, this was such a hilarious children's novel to read! I actually found myself laughing out loud page after page as you see where the story moves along to!

Overall I LOVED this story! It was a hilarious story with a great message about friendships and the illustrations made it even more amazing! I definitely recommend picking this story up for your family, your classroom, or even gift it to someone!
Liz Climo Adorable book! Liz Climo has the sweetest characters, and this book is no exception. I know it's a children's picture book, but it's so sweet. I laughed out loud at some of the situations, and the friendship and cooperation of the rabbit and the bear were very nice to see. Liz Climo

So cute and hilarious. Liz Climo Thanks again to my hubby for getting me this for Christmas! Liz Climo has done it again! This was a fun light-hearted and sweet story about a bunny and a bear~
It all begins when the bunny digs a hole in the garden of bear... you can imagine bear sees a yummy snack, and so begins the hilarity as bunny tries to get out of being eaten doing all sorts of things for bear. I already had the idea that bear was doing it for x, but it was still a delight seeing him say it. Though... I do wonder if the bunny is truly safe given the ending. :P I also liked the signs... but will bunnies really see it when they are digging? ;)
The art... fabulous as always with Liz Climo, she has such a cute style. Liz Climo I love Liz Climo's comics. Her characters are adorable and I love the silly situations. So, when I saw this book, I was definitely curious. It was cute, with a very simple plot: a bunny tunnels into a bear's garden by mistake. In order to prevent the hungry bear from eating him, the bunny goes through all kinds of activities and favors to appease the bear and escape. But, things work out all right in the end.

The ending itself was a little simplistic, though. Obviously, we don't want the bear to eat the bunny. And I thought that it was cute that the bear just wanted to be friends. But, I think a friendship built on fear is not a great one. The bear even asks the bunny if they didn't have fun together (bunny says they did), but after reading the book, I'm not so sure about that. From bear's perspective, he hung out with his friend, had pizza and milkshakes, played pretend with his stuffed animals, went gardening, and hunted for four-leaf clovers. From bunny's perspective, he bought a hungry predator a pizza, tried to sneak away, had to play nice and share a milkshake, allow a bear to carry him around in his mouth, had a bear threaten to take his foot because it's lucky, and had to plant grass seed--again, so he wouldn't be eaten. The poor thing's exasperation by the end of the book shows that he's not really having fun, or at least, he might have enjoyed himself more if he knew that he wasn't on the menu from the start.

EDIT: I talked to one of my male friends about this, and he shed a little perspective. I was complaining about the bear, and he pointed out that the bear wanted a friend, but didn't know how to go about asking the rabbit to stay. It was a ham-fisted interaction, but seemed to make more sense if you look at the bear as uncomfortable with or unable to say how he was feeling. I guess I'll accept that, ha.


Cute book, fun for kids and Liz Climo fans. Liz Climo This is an amusing little story about a bunny and a supposedly hungry bear. When the bunny encounters the bear in the woods, the bear wants to eat them. The bunny orders a pizza instead, which they share. But the bear is still hungry and insists they must eat the bunny. After all, they don't want to not eat a bunny in front of their friends. And so it goes, until at last the bunny gets fed up and tells the bear to just get it over with... at which point we learn that the bear has an appetite for friendship rather than rabbit salad.

The premise is cute, and the emotions of the bunny (ranging from fear to frustration to resignation) are fun to watch. The illustrations are simple but effective.

Overall, I think kids (and their parents) will get a kick out of this one. And the message is nice, too. Sometimes, if you want someone to hang out with, the best thing to do is just ask.

Quotable moment:

Liz Climo A hilarious, laugh-out-loud tale of predator and prey. My family had so much fun reading this together. Liz Climo
