review 1: NOT a grieving bookWhen they find a rabbit flattened in the road, a dog and a rat decide to give the deceased animal a proper sendoff. When a dog and a rat come upon a rabbit flattened on the road in their neighborhood, they contemplate her situation, wondering what they should do to help her. They decide it can't be much fun to lie there; she should be moved. But how? And to where? Finally, the dog comes up with an inspired and unique idea and they work together through the night to make it happen. Once finished, they can't be positive, but they think they have done their best to help the flat rabbit get somewhere better than the middle of the road where they found her. The Flat Rabbit treats the concept of death with a sense of compassion and gentle humor -- and a note o... moref practicality. In the end, the dog's and the rat's caring, thoughtful approach results in an unusual yet perfect way to respect their departed friend.
review 2: I'm not sure who the target audience is for this book. I liked the original idea of this book, but I believe it did not deliver. The illustrations did not wow me and I was somewhat confused by the story. Although it is a picture book, I don't feel children would enjoy or understand it. This book surely doesn't help a child deal with death or dying, so it should be looked at for entertainment purposes. less
