I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a funny book. A fun story with great pictures. Parents will enjoy reading this just as much as their kids will enjoy hearing it.

Rabbit and Bear, where have you been all my life? My childhood wants you! This is such a fun series, with grumpy Rabbit and chill Bear, and all the other great characters we find in the forest. In this volume, a horrible monster suddenly appears, and the animals (sans Bear, who has wandered off in search of blueberries) decide to throw this monster into prison, or at least, into a hollow stump with branches and brambles to keep it prisoner. The monster, who got knocked out after flying into a tree, wakes up, and is discovered to be a rather small, not scary burrowing owl. Lessons are learned about not judging others, and that we're all weird on the inside, and there's poo. Poo becomes an important part of the story, and it's quite amusing. Also, there's a show put on, with burping. Just so much silliness, little kid me would've loved this, and adult me loves it too. As always, the retro-ish artwork is gorgeous!

I had a lot of fun reading this book. When a new animal crash lands in the lake, Rabbit fears the worst. Once he finds out what it is, he assumes it is dangerous and needs to be locked up. He gets some of the other animals behind this plan, and ends up making some harsh judgements about them. When this animal finally speaks, turns out it means no harm to any of them. If you liked the last Rabbit and Bear book, then you will want to check this one out.

I love this book. No fancy words and no grand description I just love this book. It is perfectly weird and random. It covers everything from standing up to a friend, judging someone based off their looks, admitting when you're wrong, owl facts, and to top it off some poop talk. I am now a forever fan of this series, this author, and illustrator. Children ages 6-10 will learn how to raise their eyebrows when they read this.

Rabbit has a colorful way with words that will tickle your kiddos funny bone. With a sense of humor Rabbit has a problem with judging when owl comes flying into Rabbit's woods. He has judged Owl as a rabbit eating monster and he has the rest of his friends believing that Owl is such a monster and more. You know how fear plays out and your kids will learn that as well. It is easier to see those traits in animals when we may not be able to see in ourselves. A lesson that is well learned that we to can learn with colorful words and the characters of the woods.

A Special Thank You to Printers Row Publishing Group and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This book was a fun read! I’m sure that children will love the humor throughout this book! I really enjoyed that there is a lesson in this book which is... new friends may seem strange at first, but you should always give them a chance!
The illustrations are great! I also had no idea that Rabbit and Bear is a series!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced digital copy of this book!

Thank you to the publisher and @NetGalley for allowing me to read this hilarious book! I absolutely love the characters. I love the analogy of the cave and humans and how we are all different on the inside and that it is ok. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

The Rabbit and Bear: Attack of the Snack by Julian Gough is a cute story with gorgeous illustrations. While the story is a bit lacking, kids will enjoy the humor (and adults will appreciate the quality of the art!).

Kids will love a new episode of Rabbit & Bear. When an author uses the words "butt", "fart", and "poop", you can almost guarantee it will be a hit. A new character arrives in the woods and Rabbit thinks it is evil. The reasons to put him in prison keep getting exaggerated until all of the other characters believe he is evil as well. Seems like a bit of parallel to political situations but most kids won't pick up on that. Kids can learn friendship problem solving with this delightful story with great illustrations.

Rabbit & Bear is a children’s book that has what I call “rude humor” - it’s a title I’m sure most children would find hilarious, but as a parent, I find annoying. I don’t want my child repeating rude things they learn in a book. It’s hard enough having them hear what they do out in the world. It may seem prudish of me, I’m sure, but this book was just not one I appreciated.
I will give a higher rating for the quality of illustrations.

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the chance to read this book.

My son enjoyed reading the other Rabbit & Bear books, so I was excited when I saw it on Net Galley. This is a fun read-aloud for beginning readers. I love the illustrations!

I had no idea that Rabbit and Bear was a series. This story was fun and my daughter loved reading it with me. I am excited to go find the others in this series.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. Rabbit and Bear are at it again and this time with a new owl friend. I love this series and this is another great read for kids and adults will lol while reading it to their kids too.

Rabbit & Bear: Attack of the Snack is a fun transitional reader book for any burgeoning reader. It is full of humor that young children and adults will enjoy when reading together. The illustrations pair wonderfully with the text and add an extra dimension to the story. I was surprised to see hidden political jabs in a small amount of the dialogue, which younger children will not pick up on, but their grownups will. I did not appreciate reading those parts, personally, but the overall message of not judging people by hearsay, and admitting when you make mistakes, and saying, "I'm sorry" is important. Overall, this is a cute book, and I look forward to reading more Rabbit & Bear books in the future.

Rabbit & Bear: Attack of the Snack is funny and sweet, a terrific addition to the Rabbit & Bear series. Rabbit and Bear witness a small fluffy Thing land nearby. After rescuing it, they learn that it is an owl. Rabbit has heard stories about owls being huge, dangerous, and cruel. Despite absolutely no evidence that the tiny, unconscious owl matches his perception, Rabbit is determined to lock it up for the safety of the small forest creatures. He refuses to listen to Bear’s patient arguments, so Bear leaves. Rabbit and the other small animals create a prison for the little owl, who wakes to find herself unjustly jailed.
With plenty of parallels to real-world situations, as well as some laugh-out-loud humor, this book is very fun to read, but also teaches an important lesson about judging others without knowing all the facts. The characters are appealing, and the artwork is absolutely perfect.
I do wish that the book was segmented into short chapters. It’s long for a picture book, but reads like a short chapter book. Regardless, Attack of the Snack is delightful and hilarious, especially for its kid audience!

This was a silly, funny read. I really enjoyed that it was a longer picture book with more words. The bear and rabbit were such fun characters.

OMG I was not prepared for this book at all, what a surprise!! A cute story of animals in the woods that treat another poorly only to find that the other creature is not what they think and turns out to be a new friend. Be prepared for lots of burping and farting and fun things like that while reading to little ones.

When a newcomer arrives in the woods, Rabbit spreads tales of awful, scary deeds this animal is guilty of. The newcomer, a little burrowing owl, who had hit his head on a tree, receives very poor treatment from the animals, due to the scare tactics of Rabbit. Bear urges fairness, and encourages the other animals to get to know the owl before making a judgement. This installment of the Rabbit and Bear series would be a good addition to a unit about prejudice and judging people before knowing them. The references to bodily functions, although enjoyable and funny to kids, may make this book a difficult story to read aloud to a whole class. Other than that, it's a gentle lesson in the importance of getting to know someone before jumping to conclusions. Students in grades K-3 would find this tale amusing.

What a wonderful first introduction to Rabbit & Bear! They're best friends who are having the best day ever which turns into the worst day ever when something small flies overhead and smacks into a tree. Afterwards Rabbit learns a valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about others just off of what he's heard and Bear learned a lesson about eating too many blueberries with mint. All of the forest creatures eventually make a new friend, embrace their own and others' "weirdness", and really do have the best day ever.

I found myself reading parts aloud to my coworkers so we could both laugh. I also cannot wait to share this book with our library patrons and my own children because it'll be a hoot!
