It is Banned Books Week, and I am reading Challenged/Banned books. This is the fourth book for this week.

This book was banned because one rabbit is white, and the other is black, and they get married.

The book was super adorable, I was just awwing, and squeeing. Especially as the story continued, and the rabbits got closer and closer to each other, and that moment when the black rabbit wanted to be with the white rabbit forever and ever. And the wedding was just terrific, I loved that all the animals in the forest got together to party.

It is a really sweet book and it shows kids why people want to get married, why they want a wedding. To celebrate, to be with each other forever and ever. And yes, I guess you can do that without marriage these days, but eh, I am old-fashioned and I would much prefer to seal the deal with a marriage/wedding. 😛

The art was pretty gorgeous, I loved how the rabbits were drawn (I just had two pages I didn’t like and those were the ones with them popping their eyes wide open, it just looked too silly for me). But mostly they looked like they would just jump up and out of the page.

All in all, I would recommend this book. Be warned it is very cute, and you will be cheering and dancing with the rabbits during their party. 🙂
