Rabbit Rap
In an age when rabbits live in happy freedom from their natural predators and are busy violently taming Nature, some of them seek to do away with warren dwelling, and liberate themselves from the tyranny of old ways. They find a true believer in Rabbit Hab, an enterprising head rabbit. As the ambitious Hab presses forward with his futuristic vision, he must contend with opposition, sabotage, and dirty double-dealing from some unlikely quarters. A fable about politics, ecology, feminism and corporate greed, Rabbit Rap is a tale for our times.

What an interesting narrative and delightful piece of writing. In the tradition of Animal Farm, but modern. One wonders how much hard work must have gone into imagining and then writing it in such smooth prose. An extra star for lovely illustrations.

The illustrations were nice... might have worked better as a graphic novel.
