This was a very cute children's book. It is essentially a cautionary tale of rabbit math. If you get two rabbits... you will most likely end up with way more. I really like the art work and the black/white/orange color scheme. Kids will love the silly illustrations and the fun ways they re-homed the rabbits.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

The illustrations are adorable, distributing the rabbits is a fun way to count and do math but I strongly agree with the other reviewer about the appalling message that disregards the issue of animal overpopulation and suggests the way out of the problem is by blithely dumping animals anywhere and everywhere. And the end message? Now that we've gotten rid of these animals, let's get some more! NO! I will not be posting a review for this book.

Too Many Rabbits is a delightful book and I will be recommending it to all of our families who love a great picture book.
The illustrations are stunning and the story is witty and of course has counting and rabbits!

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I am leaving an 100% honest review.

Although I believe the images are amusing and that the counting aspect is fun I just dislike this book. I volunteer in the small animal area at the local Humane society and see tons of rabbits come in due to irresponsible owners. I just didn't find this story amusing

Too Many Rabbits was a fun number related story. We loved seeing all the places where they left the rabbits, and the twist at the end.

This book tells the story of a child who asks for a pet rabbit, when the father sees a 2 for 1 special the family quickly learns what trouble rabbits can be and also how quickly they multiply. The rest of the book is about them giving away the rabbits to unsuspecting community members and then ending up with none. I could see using this book for a math lesson to determine whether or not they actually added up to the correct number of rabbits or looking at increasing patterns. As a former humane educator (working for an animal shelter teaching about responsible pet ownership) I don't love some of their plans for passing the rabbits on, but could see an opportunity to discuss what amount of work a pet takes and the importance of spaying and neutering pets. I'm a bit of a buzz kill, I know lol. Anyway, it's a fun book, I could see kids enjoying it. The premise is simple and it brings in some real world considerations in a light way. I could definitely see recommending it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book.

I received an electronic ARC from Red Comet Press through NetGalley.
Cali invites readers in to see what happens when two rabbits (one male, one female) join a family. Soon rabbits are everywhere in their lives. To solve this, they "share" them all over. Readers can add up the rabbits as the family shares one to twenty of them at a time.
Fun way to work math in during story time for classes and families.

I greatly enjoyed the text in Cali's newest book. I found the random places where the extra bunnies were deposited to be extra funny, though I was disappointed there were no illustrations in the advance copy. Picture books without pictures aren't typical, but Novak's The Book With No Pictures proves they can be very enjoyable. Cali's silly counting prose would be enhanced by illustrations but is not dependent on it.
