Editorial Reviews

"A very entertaining and imaginative children's book... This is an adventure story but it comes with a moral - condemning pollution and of course stealing. Although this is a story about a Superbunny who can fly, speak, and breathe under water, it is his thoughtfulness and reasoning that are his strongest abilities."
