Booktalk #1

What? You’ve never heard of a Jackalope? Well gather round as Armadillo spins his yarn about one very discontented jackrabbit who begs his fairy godrabbit to grant his wish for a modest set of headgear. Of course his bragging sets off a series of hilarious repercussions and jackrabbit learns a valuable lesson in humility. Warning: This book will tickle your funnybone!  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2004-2005)
