Lion vs. Rabbit by Alex Latimer

4.0

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.
