Reviews
Repetitive phrasing in the rhyming verses adds to the frenzied atmosphere that quickly ensues...The illustrations alone will keep readers occupied for hours.
--Kirkus Reviews Digitized colored pencil pictures, rendered in deep pastels, bring to mind a pepped-up vintage Little Golden Book. Keen-eyed readers will spot other madcap moments, including a police chase, occurring alongside the rabbits' romp.
--Publishers Weekly The riotous illustrations--digitally manipulated pencil drawings--are brimming with action, colorful details, and rambunctious fun. This rollicking picture book is best read aloud one-on-one, as kids will want to turn the pages back and forth repeatedly as they search for specific characters in different illustrations. It's a cautionary tale: if bunnies board your bus, expect pandemonium.
