(What's this?)
The Rabbit Problem absolutely oozes quality. The format of the book as a calendar lets you live the year with the poor rabbits (it even has holes so you can hang it up), and the addition of items attached to each page brings it alive. I particularly liked the newspaper detailing the boredom in the field which, rather than just being a token couple of entries, was actually worth reading itself. I also liked the birth book for the first newborns. Attention to detail like this made it interesting to talk through the maths problem (not, of course, that this is a maths book...) with my 7 year old son, who now knows Fibonacci's theory (and now so do I!).
The graphics are very rich are full of small details which are missed the first time but are noticed on subsequent readings. It is recommended more as a book to read to a child, and to lead them through the story, rather than to leave them alone with it. I could see this is being used in a primary school class to discuss the issues the rabbits faced, in terms of food shortages (nice ration book included) and overpopulation.
I very nice book which makes me want to read much more of Emily Gravett's work.

(What's this?)
This lovely picture book takes the form of a calendar, with a double spread for each month of the year. There is even a hole, so if you wanted to you could put this up on a bedroom wall for a small person. It wouldn't be much practical use as a calendar though because some of the dates are obscured by the decorations on the pages. It would make a lovely decoration though.
Each month's beautifully illustrated double page spread focuses on a different problem: in January, Chalk's problem is that he is lonely, and by the end of the story, the (ever-increasing number of) inhabitants of Fibonacci's Field have faced hunger, boredom, heat, excess and much more.
There isn't a "story" here to read (ie words on the page to say aloud) but there is much to talk about with a younger child, and older children can deduce things for themselves. There are quirky additions on some of the pages (such as a rabbit knitting pattern on the "cold" month, a rabbit baby record (cute!), and a rabbit recipe book.) My 3 children aged 3, 5 and 7 all loved this and told me that I should give it top marks, which I will happily do.
This is a genuinely different, entertaining and thought and discussion provoking picture book which I would thoroughly recommend even to children (boys and girls) of an age where they are beyond most picture books. Excellent!

"Join Me. Where: The Field. When? Right now! The Lonely Rabbit."
This is a great book for adults and children alike. Laid out in the form of a calender, you follow the joys and difficulties that the rabbits go though during the year. The illustrations are both detailed and funny, with more than just rabbits. For those who remember the book Masquerade, it's a similar idea, but without the irritating puzzles.
Most pages have some sort of insert, a good example being February: The Cold Rabbit Problem, which has a fully illustrated knitting pattern. I can't knit, but even I could follow the abbreviations. Knit 1, Purl 1, Have a cuppa! Sounds just like my grandma when she used to knit.
The whole of this book is an illustration of Fibonacci's rabbit problem, which is explained in Fibonacci fields only local news paper The Fibber (See July - The Bored Rabbit Problem.) Basically, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers: i.e. the number sequence 1,1,2,3,5,8,... Just remember, this is NOT a maths book.
I had thought of giving this book to my Grandson, but it's too good to give away. He'll just have to wait until he's older and buy his own copy!

What a Shame...
I feel like all the beautiful illustrations are almost wasted in this potentially great bunny book with little to no story. Read more

Who's the audience ?
Having read, and enjoyed, the book, I still am at a loss to define who it's meant for. It has lots of pictures, and would presumably be enjoyed by young children. Read more

Not sure who this book is aimed at - WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS!
This book is a little odd. It's designed in the form of a calender, a hardback calender, and catalogues the problem of the increasing rabbit population in a field. Read more
