censorship
24 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
This is the book that opened my eyes to the censorship of books. Around 1960, this book was quite controversial and banned in some places. I had just started working in a library and went immediately to the book to see what the fuss was about.
Oh, yeah. It's a white bunny and a black bunny. I imagine the illustrator did this so you could tell one from the other in a black-and-white book; wouldn't it be confusing if they were both white or both black?
Busy (or maybe it's idle) minds can see anything, I guess. Advocating mixed racial marriage? I didn't think so then and I don't 45 years later.
The expressions on these two rabbits' faces are so precious, I can't believe anybody sees anything more than a warm, wonderful story with incredible illustrations.

Wonderful Story... Beautifully Illustrated!
17 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
This is a book for young children. This is a simple, absolutely beautifully illustrated hardcover book. Each entire page is fully illustrated by the incomparable Gareth Williams, who illustrated many very famous children's books, and the story flows along simply and easily.
I loved this story because it gives little children an easy way to comprehend a marriage and why people have a wedding. The two rabbits decide they want to be together "forever and ever" and so they have a wedding, to celebrate their decision. It's very sweet and simple.
The sentiments at the end of the book are just as deliciously sweet. "And the little rabbit was never sad again.." How wonderful! A lovely thing to teach children.... how marriage is meant to make two people happy forever. A pleasant idea in this era of anti-committment-single-parents.
I shake my head in confusion at someone who would try to say this book contains racial themes. The rabbits are different colors, let's not "read into" a 4 year old's book. When adults start reading racial themes into a toddler's book, they personify why bigotry exists in the first place.
I purchased this book as a gift for our 4 year old ring-bearer in our upcoming wedding, as he is very excited about weddings and trying to understand why his Uncle Johnny and I are having one. This book is delightful and very beautiful. The rabbits facial expressions are just precious. I am going to re-purchase this book for myself after giving it to my new nephew.
In review, this book is very simple, very beautiful and fun to read to little ones. Recommmended! I loved it.

Wonderful book!
5 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
I got this book 22 years ago for my daughter. It has always been her favorite story. When she went to college and found out that it was a banned book in the 50s because of the racial theme she was amazed. It is a delightful story of two sweet little rabbits who find happiness together. The illustrations are beautiful. I love the use of yellow as the only real color.
