"The chief fun of this Italian import will be counting the orange bunnies in Benetti's duotone illustrations-they're all there, each individually drawn and engaged, singly or in bunches, in bunny business. . . A delightful domestic debacle with pictures to pore over and many bunnies to count."-Kirkus Reviews
"A cautionary counting comedy . . . [with] deadpan narration by Davide Calì describes bunny life . . . which Benetti illustrates with tight, hard-edged grayscale drawings dotted liberally with small orange rabbits. . . . in this hairbrained title." -Publishers Weekly
"A hunt-and-count romp, with Emanuele Benetti's cantaloupe-colored rabbits, playfully scattered in a Gorey-esque world."-The New York Times Book Review
