Smudge Bunny
May 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By JENNIFER GANNETT I am in a period of major bunny dreaming, even occasionally cruising over to Petfinder so that I can gaze adoringly at bunnies available at a local rescue (adopting one is a dream deferred since my place is already bursting at the seams with dog, cats and humans). Since I have bunnies [...]

Open Season
May 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Movies

Continuing the tradition of “Bambi” and “The Fox and the Hound,” the 2006 release “Open Season“ depicts hunting from the animals’ perspective, and of course, it isn’t pretty. The main character is a grizzly bear named Boog, who was [...]

Review By JENNIFER KALI Quiet Bunny sees the beautiful spring colors around him – the red tulips, the yellow sun, the blue jays, the green frogs – and is sad that he is the dull brown and white color of winter. Quiet Bunny rolls in red clay, covers himself in honey and yellow dandelions, squishes [...]

The Rabbit Problem

Review By JESSICA ALMY Illustrating Fibonacci’s famous Rabbit Problem, in which the mathematician explored the numerical ramifications of a hypothetical world in which a rabbit population increases exponentially, Emily Gravett’s delightful picture book follows a rabbit family through a year.

Whose Garden Is It?
July 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY As someone who believes that at the very least animals deserve rights equal to, say, corporations, I’m disturbed that our legal system treats them as property. So when I read Mary Ann Hoberman’s Whose Garden Is It?, I was delighted to see that she tackled a complex issue like ownership in [...]
