The illustrations are adorable, but I really just didn't like the rest all that much.

This little picture book really has come at a perfect time. There's been a lot of people throwing around the term "bullying" lately when what they really mean is - as karen noted - "consumer reporting". [b:Lion vs. Rabbit|17326713|Lion vs. Rabbit|Alex Latimer|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1360573603s/17326713.jpg|24024251] is about real bullying, not someone merely expressing a negative opinion or factually reporting the behaviour of others. Lion targets weaker animals than himself, sticks notes on their backs, steals their lunch monkey and all of this is because he enjoys using his power to upset and humiliate other animals.
Many brave animals try to take on Lion and defeat him in various challenges, hoping to put an end to the bullying. A bear, a moose and a tiger are all defeated by Lion's strength and agility. Then, along comes Rabbit. Rabbit is a cute, adorable little thing that can surely pose no threat to Lion, right? Wrong! In every challenge, Rabbit emerges victorious. And, after every challenge, Lion comes up with excuse after excuse as to why he was defeated and demands more challenges. But Rabbit, it seems, is invincible!
How can this tiny bunny rabbit defeat Lion? How is it possible? Well, that's something I'll let you find out for yourself. All I can say is: I LOVED it.

A picture book about a lion who bullies all the other animals. The animals can't take it anymore so create an advertisement offering an award to anyone that can stop the lion from being mean. And a rabbit shows up to help...

Great modern trickster book that deals with a typical mean, old bully.

Lion vs Rabbit was a witty take on a very serious matter - bullying. I liked the playfulness of this story, and I thought it would make a great segue for a parent-child discussion on the topic. Written in a comic book style layout, it seemed appropriately geared toward the young reader.
An ARC of this book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The words I have expressed are my own.

Hilarious. Everyone has their own strengths. A modern day Aesop story!

While I'm glad Rabbit was able to stop Lion from bullying, I wish he hadn't done it in a dishonest way - he's supposed to be the "good" character! Am I over-thinking it?

On your second read through, watch the illustrations for rabbit ears and tails.... A fun story!
