A rabbit looks on the bright side, while a mouse can only see the negative - until, at last, their roles are reversed. Much of the humor here comes from the illustrations, as the text is only the title text repeated.

Funny! Simple and sweet. Could see these two in a comic strip. ( )

I loved the way the book handled Good News Bad News which is all a part of life. The writing is simplistic and gives a parent a way to talk about how things can be good to one person but seem bad to another. The book can also be a discussion about how to turn something bad into something good. The ending was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. ( )

In this book there is good news and bad news. The rabbit friend tries to help the mouse, but something seems to go wrong with every idea that the rabbit has. The mouse is also very negative about every situation. In the end, they figure out a solution and are both happy with the outcome.

This book tells you a story of how things could go wrong from a good deed. At first the rabbit is trying to do soething nice for the mouse, and nothing seems to work, and the mouse gets hurt every time. Until the mouse gets upset at the rabbit, but the rabbit gets very sad, so the mouse forgive him. At the end they are good friends again. ( )
