A raucous parody—DEFINITELY NOT FOR CHILDREN—of the popular If You Give a Mouse a Cookie series, Sam Miserendino and Mike Odum present the Addicted Animal Series. If You Give a Bunny a Beer is a book for moms and dads whose fondness for Budweiser, Heinecken, or Coors Light might be a little more evolved than their parenting skills.
Here is the story of a rabbit who had just one too many. Following the success of other adult-themed parodies of children’s books, author Sam Miserendino presents a delightful tale that will entertain readers with its charming combination of innocence and lack thereof.
Featuring gorgeous full-color illustrations by illustrator Mike Odum that accompany the text, this heartwarming cautionary tale informs readers of the dangers of mixing alcohol and small mammals.
"If you give a bunny a beer, he'll want another." The same basic principle applies here: my only knock on the book is that it was too short. A quick frolic through a day in the life of a bunny with a drinking problem, this is a charming little read with some amazing illustration, that really does bring it to life. It may or may not be appropriate for children, but it will definitely make you feel like a kid.
I got this book because the author had a booth at FanExpo Boston. And because I call my wife Bunny. I gave it to her and she read it to me. It's a parody (of books like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie) about a bunny who gets a little beer and wants a LOT more. it's fun and silly--and, I suppose a cautionary tale for bunny owners. By the bye, the author is Sam Miserendino and the illustrator is Mike Odum. Goodreads isn't very good about giving credit to collaborators.
Last year I walked past Sam’s booth at Galaxycon, I was intrigued and delighted by this book. Sam is a wonderful human being and pleasure to speak to.
As person with a history of alcoholism and has been in recovery for some years, these books hit close to home. They are an accurate portrayal of the blackhole of the bottle. I share these books with people that want to know more about addiction or others in the addiction/recovery space.
Thank you Sam and Mike, you are doing a great service to many people. Thank you for continuing to educate and help others.
