This is the greatest adventure story of all time. It's for boys and girls, young and old. I've read it countless times since age 10 when a friend let me borrow it. I loved it so much that I conveniently "forgot" to return it to her. Hey, I was 10, give me a break...ha ha ha. I have several copies of my own now and I can't say enough good things about it. I enjoy reading to my kids and they love it too!

This was definitely an interesting read! I liked how personified the rabbits were, but they weren't so much that you couldn't tell they weren't rabbits. I liked all the different warrens that they traveled through and mingling with each of their cultures and picking pieces from each of them into their own warren. I also enjoyed the fact that each warren was like a different country, and the final warren is resemblance to America. The only thing I wasn't real keen on was throughout their whole trip, hardly any of the male rabbits died, but as soon as they picked up some females, the females had more casualties than the males ever did. Even in the battle with the General! But overall, I would definitely recommend this book :)
