review 1: It started off good--I liked the idea of neighbors who get angry with each other and start escalating the conflict. I think it's something children could understand. But, when the human gardener enters the scene... I guess I expected some sort of shift in attitude. Instead, Rabbit and Squirrel continue to feud. And there's no real resolution. So, the story felt kind of incomplete. And, it didn't offer children the opportunity to see how conflicts might be resolved. Which, for the target audience is really important.
review 2: The illustrations are very dark and the storyline really doesn't play well with preschool audiences so to be honest, I really don't see this book being very useful for storytelling. The theme of the book focuses on a rabbit and squirrel th... moreat have lived side by side for years yet never talked to each other. When they start to find their gardens being destroyed, they automatically start blaming the other. Without even trying to find out the facts, they start warring. Even when they discover the real reason the gardens are dissapearing, they're hatred for each other still keeps them from helping each other. A nice storyline, but just not showcased well. Too dark for my taste. less
