Perfecktions the Rabbit

The author has done considerable research, as is demonstrated by her inclusion of many interesting facts about rabbits in mythology and culture. She does a good job of blending these anecdotes with the more factual breed and care information to create a cohesive, engaging book about a popular pet. The glossary provides a solid language base for those new to the topic; and the 'for further reading' list will be particularly useful to many readers." -Children's Literature
