Bunnies, Crocodiles, and Me

By Peter Allen

Through inventive stories and whimsical art, this book answers the one question every child asks: Where did I come from'. It reveals birth, from its most abstract (the birth of a planet) to its most simplistic (crocodiles hatching).

ENJOYED EVERY PAGE OF THIS ONE

This is truly a strange little book. It is the work of 13 different authors and artists and addresses the subject of birth. How did we get here? How were we born? Each story if quite different and each artist is quite unique in their take of the subject. Some of the stories do address the subject of evolution. Some of love. Some of the stories are a bit graphic. Please refer to the review by Publishers Weekly. This is one of the few reviews they ever got correct and nailed it pretty well. I would strongly suggest that a parent read this one first before it is presented to the child. I think that most adults will find the book quite good, but am not at all sure if all children would. Parents know their children best and this is one of those times that the parent needs to do their job and do some decision making. I would have not problem reading this one to one of my children, but would hesitate reading to to someone elses child without parents approval. I do feel, for the most part that the art work was quite well done and it is sure to catch the childs eye. It is a rather fun book and as I said, I enjoyed ever page of it. Well done!
