Please Don't Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit by Michelle Lander Feinberg, Michelle Lander Feinberg
4.0

4 Stars

How could I not request a book with a title like that? The story is about Cooper, a big cute dog who has just learned to live with a family (in book 1). However, Cooper still has one weakness, rabbits. He cannot help but chase after them.

In this book, Cooper chases a rabbit across the city. When the rabbit realizes that Cooper only wants to be a friend, he agrees, and they become buddies. Cooper adopts Jack, the rabbit, as his pet, and they have a whole lot of adventures, irrespective of the fact that one is a dog and the other is a rabbit.

The story is about how we can be friends with people who are different from us and have wonderful relationships. The narration is in AA rhyme scheme, which seemed a little forced at times and broke the natural rhythm.

The illustrations are in watercolor and so warm! Cooper is this huge furry doggy one cannot resist cuddling. Diversity has been so artfully included in the book that it adds to its beauty with ease.
To sum up, Please Don't Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit is a lovely book for kids and adults.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and SDP Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
