It's everything you need to know about a rabbit!!! Their habits, habitat, history, etc. It covers everything~
Loving how it involved pop culture at the end so it's something else. Loving the colour and art style. Very cute, and insightful. I would appreciate it more if it contains the cm and kg versions of inch and pound so other part of the world can understand it more easily.
From the time I saw the endpages of illustrated rabbit noses, I knew that Rabbitology was going to show this reference information in a different way. The entire book is filled with illustrations to help the reader understanf the content. I think I know more about rabbits now than I ever expected to. From rabbit history, anatomy, diet, care instructions, and breeds, this book has it. This would be a helpful reference book for someone writing a research paper on rabbits, or a perspective rabbit owner.
Thanks to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
Raise your hand if you were an adult who learned there was a difference between a rabbit and a hare from a children’s book. *me silently raises hand*
I was absolutely blown away by the amount of information about rabbits inside of this book. All presented in bite size pieces accompanied with bright, colorful illustrations.
The author covered everything from how rabbits live in the wild, the anatomy of a rabbit (both inside and out), different species around the world, and even a page dedicated to showing rabbits featured in media & pop culture.
The last few pages feature facts about individual breeds that might be good to keep as pets, which I found helpful and informative.
Overall this is a great resource for children who want to learn more about rabbits. For individual reading I’d say it’s 10+ but if a parent or teacher is reading aloud or alongside a child it would be suitable 4+.
Warnings:
Christian parents be aware evolution is mentioned
Legends and beliefs about the rabbit from other cultures are presented, which include discussion around the rabbit representing fertility or purity
Mating page uses terms like “sexual maturation” and discusses female ovulation & spermatooza
I don’t believe that any of these are a dealbreaker, just something to aware of as you’re considering this book for your bookshelf!
Rabbitology is an excellent book, very informative and I plan to look into the other animal books from this author as well!
