The story of a mean and narcissistic king is both uproariously funny
and distressingly on point, will be enjoyed by children and their
parents.
Rabbits don't exist.
So decrees the new king, the Wolf of all Wolves, after conquering the
rabbits' homeland. He refuses to allow even one small, fluffy tail or
long, soft ear into his kingdom. He orders the birds to broadcast this
message far and wide. And he summons the old monkey to photograph him in
his royal finery, performing his royal deeds. But in his darkroom, the
monkey sees something strange developing in the photos. Is that a floppy
ear? Whose grinning bunny teeth are those? How could it be?
Ariel Dorfman's first children's book, THE RABBITS REBELLION, is a
remarkable and mischievous allegory of truth and justice triumphing over
political chicanery. Set in a magical animal kingdom and illustrated by
the great Chris Riddell, this is a story that will have children roaring
with laughter and parents raising an eyebrow with recognition.
