Woo Hoo! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I've been sharing my life with house rabbits for over ten years. I've got to say that this book is a barrel of laughs. Having known bunnies with 'tude, I can say that, despite their excellent senses of humor, they are also masters of disapproval. From "Sorry, slave, but that lettuce isn't organic" to "Go ahead, make me get off this couch," their faces are so full of expression! It's amazing to see how so much intelligence and emotion are packed into those little fur bodies.

Editorial Review:

Try as hard as you like, there's just no pleasing a disapproving rabbit

Let them hop around your house, they'll disapprove of your decorating skills. Feed them tasty veggies, they'll disapprove of your culinary skills. Sit together in your yard, and they'll disapprove of your gardening (even as they devour it).

Long thought of as mindless raiders of gardens and happy couriers of colored eggs, it's almost as if rabbits have been getting the best of us for years, secretly disapproving of all our non-rabbit ways.

Fortunately Sharon Stiteler, known as the Bird Chick for her work in the birding community, began to notice something not-quite-right about her pet rabbit Cinnamon. It appeared that Cinnamon didn't approve . . . of anything. After studying a great many photos, Sharon has soundly and without-out-a-doubt proved that rabbits have some major attitude.

Editorial Review:

A pot roast left unguarded. An open bedroom door. An ill-timed squat. Dogs seem to have impeccable timing. Yet how quickly calamity turns to comedy in the company of a dog, and the wrong moment turns out to be just the right one.

In this delightful follow-up to Dog Is My Co-Pilot, which won the Best Book of the Year award from the Dog Writers Association of America, the editors of The Bark bring together more stories, essays, and artwork that highlight the hilarity of dog behavior and the comical interactions between dog people and their four-legged friends.

From playful puppies who wreak havoc in the home to dogs with a whole array of comic shticks and tricks, Howl celebrates the verve and the laughs pets offer their people. It includes laugh-out-loud reflections (and confessions), rib-tickling tales, and whimsical vignettes from well-known writers such as:

• Dave Barry
• Margaret Cho
• Al Franken
• Kinky Friedman
• Pam Houston
• Haven Kimmel
• Neal Pollack
• And many more!

A very naughty but very funny book. 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 17 people found this review helpful.

Although this book is now quite old it has lost none of it's ascerbic wit. And it is wit with a dark, naughty and twisted edge which does not have to work hard to illustrate it's point, it does exactly what you would expect of the title and why would you look if you felt as though you would be offended?
I believe this kind of base, juvenille humour is needed by us all at time's. The hilarity of the forbidden and taboo subject is intensely and achingly funny sometimes. Surely everyone remembers wanting to howl with laughter when being heftily scalded as a child?
To ignore we have such base instincts is to deny being human and assume superiorty over ones peers, quite hilarious in itself really, it is afterall, JUST A BOOK!
This book is wickedly funny and a huge "pick-me-up" with no real malice intended! To the book's detractors and disapprovers I say, Lighten up folks! NO ACTUAL CATS WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THE BOOK!!

Editorial Review:

Since time immemorial mankind has been plagued by the question "What do you do with a dead cat?" Here, at last, in 101 hilarious, outrageous, and (sometimes) downright sick cartoons, are some answers. 101 black-and-white illustrations.

All things Snoopy! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Good book especially if you are doing You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Gives some fun insight on the character of Snoopy is his many guises.

Nice, hefty Snoopy sampler 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Nice, thick volume with tons of Snoopy cartoons. Although the book is called the "Many" faces of Snoopy, it's actually divided into just five sections: Joe Cool, the Attorney, the World War I Flying Ace (the biggest section, of course), Beagle Scout and Writing Ace. Still, even only looking at those five facets of Snoopy's multi-layered personality packs this book with over 300 pages of cartoons from throughout the 50-year run of Peanuts. Definitely worth getting for the Snoopy fan.

Snoopy book 5 out of 5 stars.

My sister and I are big Snoopy fans. I ordered this book for her Christmas gift and almost kept it for myself!
It is great and good fun reading.

Superb book for all ages 5 out of 5 stars.

If you like snoopy you NEED this book. It provides some excellent sketches from 5 of snoopys best loved personalities. It dosen't deal with all his alter egos but is still a great read. The book is well presented and superb value at under 12 dollars. This book is not just for kids. I myself am a 32 year year old school teacher and I found this book highly entertaining. If you are a snoopy fan order it today....

There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story

Editorial Review:

"Dirt for breakfast, dirt for lunch and dirt for dinner! Dirt, dirt, dirt! And look--now there's even a hair in my dirt! The final insult--I can't stand it any longer! I hate being a worm!" It isn't easy being an earthworm, and when one little guy gets mad at a hair in his dinner, Father worm decides to tell him a story. What follows is an ecological fable that combines environmental lessons with the kind of off-the-wall humor that could only come from one man: Gary Larson. Fans of The Far Side have been waiting for Larson's latest work since January 1995 when the final Far Side strip appeared in newspapers around the world, and they won't be disappointed. Father worm tells the story of Harriet, a beautiful but stupid maiden who frolics through the forest enjoying the beauty of nature, but completely failing to understand it. The young earthworm learns that nature is not a cute and cuddly theme park designed for the entertainment of stupid humans, but a complex, fragile, and sometimes violent system where every creature plays a vital role, even the lowly worm.

Larson is never preachy, the text is hilarious, and his illustrations are filled with wonderful sight gags. It may look like a children's book, but there's enough here to keep the most sophisticated adult chuckling for hours. You might learn something, too. --Simon Leake

My Favorite Wall Calendar 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is the 3rd year in a row that I have ordered one of these calendars and they are the best! I don't own bulldogs but the pictures and humor in this calendar almost make me want one. My 2 year old daughter even laughs at the pictures!

Editorial Review:

Despite her bloodshot eyes, stout frame, and serious overbite, she's still "adora-bull." She's Zelda, the English bulldog known for her outrageous costumes and "biting" wisdom such as, "Don't cry over spilled milk--lap it up." Tough but tender, sweet but strong, Zelda reminds us to laugh at life--and ourselves.

* "This doggy diva is queen of the catwalk." --Oprah Winfrey

Each month of this full-color calendar features a hilarious image of Zelda donning one of her outlandish outfits accompanied by one of her trademark quips.

I Finally Get It! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is my second suicidal bunny book. I bought them both in Rome in a very sophisticated, upscale store where I had been cackling for longer than was appropriate in Rome. (When in Rome, don't cackle in public, the Romans don't.)
Before I send this one off to my kid in college, I gave it one last look. And I got it. There's this drawing of a bunch of people running away from the shore line at the sight of a shark fin, and one tiny bunny in a swimfloat, eagerly padding into the water.
So on one level, there's every mad politician going ahead with some policy that everyone on the beach knows is crazy. On another level, that's all of us doing some nutso thing in spite of the world running around us in the opposite direction away from the visible shark. It reminds me of the hilarious novelRecycling Jimmy> It has the same slightly repulsive subject matter, with the same weird British take on things and the same subversive sub-text.
I'm looking at this book one more time wondering which shark I'm heading towards. What about you?

--Lynn Hoffman, author of New Short Course in Wine,The and
the comparatively wholesome bang BANG: A Novel. ISBN 9781601640005

Editorial Review:

Return of the Bunny Suicides follows over one hundred bunnies as they find ever more bizarre ways to end their fuzzy little existences. From swimming with nibbly fishes, to hiding under an elephant’s footstool, to getting on the sharp end of a Venetian gondola—no stone goes unturned (or undropped, or uncatapulted) in the twisted little creatures’ next installment.

Illustrated in a spare and simple style, Return of the Bunny Suicides is a collection of hilarious and outrageous cartoons that will appeal to anyone in touch with their evil side.

When One Garfield Isn't Enough! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I loved this book. Being one of the earlier books in the Garfield collection Jim Davis had many fresh ideas to work with. You may be surprized that Garfield looks slightly different , but the attitude stays the same. If you want to see Garfield very different, see fat cat 3-pack number one. If you love Garfield, This is a must have.

This book features: Mondays, The caped Avenger, The fence, Nermal, Odie, and of course Garfields sick addiction to food .

Enjoy!

If you liked this one I reccomend Fat Cat 3 pack: 4, 5, and 7.

Very Good 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is a must for old school Garfield fans.New school people don't understand this.Perfect for old fans 20+.Good buy.

Editorial Review:

When one Garfield isn't enough!
That four-legged fur balloon we affectionately refer to as Garfield always wants more -- and he gives as good as he gets in this hilarious volume of belly-busting laughs. So whether he's chaining himself to the refrigerator, biting Odie's fingernails, or borrowing Jon's deodorant, there's only one thing better than a Garfield collection: three Garfield collections!
