About this title

Synopsis

In this hilarious Southern folktale, mean old Boss Lion threatens the peaceful folk of Brer Village, and Brer Rabbit is forced to teach the carnivorous trouble-maker a lesson he'll never forget. Brer Rabbit outsmarts the baddest fella in the forest—then saunters back to town as the local hero. This witty, playful adaptation, perfectly complemented by gritty bayou blues, is just the kind of fun your family will enjoy again and again.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 4. The animals of Brer Village are doing just fine until Boss Lion moves in and starts eating everyone in sight. After a few days, the folks get together to do something about it, and fast-talking Brer Rabbit volunteers to take on the carnivore. His bravado fails him when he is faced with the beast, and the villagers end up providing Boss Lion with fresh meat?literally. When it's Brer Rabbit's turn to become a part of the lion's diet, the wily hare uses the brute's worst traits as a weapon against him. Kessler's narrative is packed with humorous wordplay and written in a rolling, storytelling style. Mayer's bright, cartoon illustrations capture the mood of the story, depicting the sassy Brer Rabbit particularly well?this is a bunny with attitude. The tale reads well alone, but Danny Glover's taped interpretation, backed by brash and brassy music by Dr. John, enhances the experience immeasurably. This will be a popular pick for books-on-tape fans.?Donna L. Scanlon, Lancaster County Library, PA
