Bunnies
Peter Rabbit
Peek Through Board Books
1995
The bunnies are having a pretty good time in this little board book. Note the wine making and the smoking of “rabbit tobacco”. Perhaps this is Peter Rabbit’s marijuana dispensary and wine bar.
Sketchy bunny activities not withstanding, I think it worth making a comment about a board book being this old and still hanging around. Board books are tiny germ factories and really shouldn’t be hanging around for over a year or so. I am going to guess that board books are chewed upon regularly by tiny patrons. Recycling these books often is a good strategy for keeping the germs under reasonable control.
I die a little every time I see a lot of effort put into maintaining board books. It is not heroic use of time to rescue one of these books from the grips, or should I say teeth, of the average toddler. The fact that this book was used or checked out in the early 2000s, and STILL hanging around in 2020 is rather gross.
I know the little ones love these books. They are a worthwhile use of collection dollars. However, recycle those suckers often and keep a healthy amount of hand sanitizer around.
