Book Review: Pat the *&%$ Bunny
Oct. 26th, 2008 08:01 pmI have no problem with the bunny itself, and I completely adore Judy's Book. I love how Daddy (with the scratchy face) looks like a shaving cream ad, circa 1923, but there are two problems with this thing that I just can't get past.
1. "Paul can smell the flowers. Now YOU smell the flowers." The nasty-ass, fake perfume flowers. The dang book smells up the entire shelf.
2. "Paul can put his finger through Mummy's ring. Now YOU put your finger through Mummy's ring." Only you can't, presuming that YOU are DangerLad!. He gets caught in that dratted page every single time, and then, on the "Paul and Judy say Bye Bye" page, he tries it from the other side and gets stuck again.
Overall conclusion: potentially hallucinogenic and orthopedically unwise. We at Sarcasm and Baking do not understand why it persists as a children's classic.
