Rating:  Summary: Luv that Dav Pilkey guy! Review: Dav Pilkey is the author/illustrator of the hi-larious Captain Underpants series. His books are very funny and will encourage reluctant readers to pick up a book. The Dumb Bunnies are a very silly family who happily do things backwards, upsidedown and sideways,without ever losing their happy dispositions, in fact, they never even notice that they march to the beat of a different drummer! With humor that everyone can understand and great illustrations, kids will really enjoy the Dumb Bunnies!
Rating:  Summary: A hilarious, silly book not just for kids, but adults too! Review: I discovered the Dumb Bunnies late one evening when my friend and I were searching for books for her two children. We did not know what to expect by looking at the quirky cover. Within seconds we were laughing hysterically. What is great about this book and other Dumb Bunnies books is that not only do the children love it, adults will enjoy it too. Books that are interesting for all age groups encourages adults to read to children.
Rating:  Summary: Humor, parody, and lesson-teaching... Review: I feel as though I must address the scathing criticism of other posters. This book is a silly parody of other stories. It does not teach kids to say, "Duh." That is a sound that the father makes when he is actually being dumb. It does not encourage the child to do something after his parents have told him it was dangerous. Rather, it demonstrates the consequences of doing so and makes it appear "dumb" to do it. This book is about producing giggles from the unexpected and silly. My children absolutely love the gentle irreverence of it. It is not harsh or rude; rather it is charming and fun. I highly recommend it for any children, especially those who may not have developed a love of reading just yet.
Rating:  Summary: Great for Adults Too! Review: My boyfriend gave me this book for Valentine's Day and it makes me laugh every time. These bunnies are very silly and they do everything wrong but there is something truly sweet and endearing about this family. This book also has a wonderful way of expressing the silliness kids love. Both of these points are beautifully illustrated when Baby Bunny pours his porridge down his pants and Poppa Bunny exclaims "That's My Boy!"
Rating:  Summary: hee hee! Review: when i was student teaching in an inner-city school i read this classic to my kindergarten class and it was stolen before first recess. no one would fess up and at first i grieved for the loss of my favorite book, but i quickly realized that it had made some kid want to read badly enough to swipe it, which is a testament to it's utter fantabulosity. every time i read any of the "dumb bunnies" books i laugh out loud, wherever i am. just looking at those bunnies in their underwear makes me laugh! and the toilet jokes are to die for. this is my favorite series for reluctant readers of any age.
