This review is from: The Magic Hare (Hardcover)
Barry Moser's illustrations are eye-grabbing, and they go well with these original and up-to-date animal tales. (Up-to-date, as in using witchcraft to fix a hole in the ozone layer.) Not all the stories take place in modern times, but they all have a modern sensibility to them. The funniest one is the "Hare and the Vampire." Even your big kids will like these stories.
Beautiful book - this would make a great gift for a slightly quirky family.

This review is from: The Magic Hare (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book of fables featuring the Magic Hare. In Mrs. Banks words, he is old-fashioned, yet bang up to the minute. In his kind and conceited, clever and shy, gentle and ruthless way he brings the varied characters of this magical book to perfect solutions for their problems; all the while teaching us with joy and humor how to chase down our own resolutions. A great book to read aloud.

This review is from: The Magic Hare (Paperback)
I am six and a half years old.I started reading this book and I read up till the chapter "The Hare and The Vampire". When I looked at the picture of the vampire and I got really scared.I showed it to my mom and she got scared too! So then I closed the book and never read it ever again.Just a warning that this book is really scary.
