I like this book for two reasons and dislike it for another. I like the humor involved with the illustrations. When Brer Rabbit pulls his pranks the illustrations of Brer Fox and Brer Bear could be pretty funny for young readers. This humor in a small book with a simple plot is crucial for keeping young readers entertained. The second thing I like is is the environment. The forest world that is drawn is very simple and easy to comprehend. For young readers they will easily be able to visualize and see what is happening in the story. What I don't like is Brer Rabbits personality. While older readers wouldn't have any problems with it, for younger readers it's possible they could be negatively influenced by Brer Rabbit's pranks that are performed for really no good reason. The main idea of this story is Brer Rabbit pulling tricks on Brer Bear and fox while trying to find a place to rest. Overall this book is ok, it has some humor to it that could entertain kinds, but for younger readers the pranks I feel may be negatively influential. ( )
