Review

"Latimer's digitally colored pencil cartoons are full of funny details (a TV color test appears in Lion's thought bubble during a trivia challenge), and while he lets readers in on Rabbit's secret to success, Lion simply gets a satisfying, fable-worthy comeuppance." —Publishers Weekly
"Precise, digitized pencil illustrations utilize simple lines, patterns and colors to highlight Lion's mean and silly bullying antics... Readers with sharp eyes will be rewarded with numerous amusing visual details, including hidden hints about how Rabbit outwits Lion. A droll, nonthreatening tale of bullying in the guise of a modern fable." —Kirkus
"Students will love the illustrations Latimer has created... This book will be just the mentor text for this type of writing. The story structure is clear. The problem is evident. The events are funny. The solution is perfect." —Reflect and Shine blog
"Droll details and comic characterizations add wild panache. The story's skewed humor and buoyant charm delight on their own, but the regular opportunities for the listener to know just a little more than the protagonist elevate this outing from mere felicity to full-on fun." —Butler's Pantry blog
