Just Wrong.

Okay. Ignore that delightful image for a minute, and look at this instead.


That’s much better. Floppy-eared bunnies on a fishing trip. Mommy Bunny probably took the photo that hangs in Bobby Bunny’s bedroom. Then something bad happened.

Believe it or not, that’s a real book with a target audience: the children of criminals. Who knows why Little Bunny FooFoo’s dad got busted – Higgins doesn’t divulge on Amazon – no previews – so we can only guess. Did he evade taxes? Was he involved in a hit and run, or a drive-by shooting? Shirk child support payments? DUI? Then I wondered what the sad little rabbit was drawing.

Seems that the policeman under someone’s thumb isn’t a harmless brown floppy-eared rabbit. There’s a message in there somewhere.

Now let’s crank the sarcasm up another notch. To date, almost 98% of people who read and rated this Amazon Book Review found it helpful. (G’head. Right-Click it to view it.)

So sad, pathetic, offensive and funny at the same time, and that brings us back to the author of the book, M.C.”Melissa” Higgins. Maybe she means well, but  children’s book illustrator Wednesday Kirwan (whose lovely work is featured at the top of this thread) has problems and should never be allowed near children of any age, at least in my opinion. Hell, I wouldn’t let either of them babysit a dog.

Some folks just ain’t right in the haid no matter how talented they are, and that’s exactly why we’re posting it here, on The Overnight Open Thread.
