The Adventures of Rabbitwoman and Dogman

Praise for The Adventures of Rabbitwoman and Dogman: “Rabbitwoman and Dogman’s journey to save endangered wildlife not only packs a wallop of a message, but it does it with dazzling illustrations and accessible perspective. Bravo!” —Neil Patrick Harris “Quirky and ultimately compelling … Facing two-page spreads introduce each animal, providing brief paragraph-length descriptions of habitats, conservation challenges, quick stats, fun facts, and segments called ‘How are people helping?’ that offer examples of successful interventions. Two features make this offering unique. Bright, Lisa Frank-esque illustrations explode off pages and portray the subjects (mountain gorillas, leopards, wombats, etc.) in shades of hot pink, purple, and other vivid, arresting hues (even the northern white rhinocerous is shown as bright orange). Then there are the narrators, the titular Rabbitwoman and Dogman. These anthropomorphized guides have human bodies and wear clothing and climb trees and sit at dinner tables but have animal heads (one rabbit, one quasi-hound) that present rather flat aspects and never change expression. Initially jarring, this creative approach quickly gels and allows readers to become swept up by the stunning visuals and caught by the authors’ passion to save these endangered critters, fueled by their own firsthand observations in the wild. This eye-catching kid magnet will bring new energy to animal collections.” —Kathleen McBroom, Booklist “Through the captivating storytelling and vivid wildlife art within this book, young minds are ignited with wonder and compassion for our precious planet. As a leading wildlife conservation organization, we witness firsthand the transformative impact connections like these have in educating children about animals and fostering a deep sense of responsibility towards our wild world. It’s more than just a book; it’s a beacon of hope and empowerment for the next generation of conservationists.” —Brookfield Zoo Chicago Praise for Gillie and Marc: “The most prolific creators of public art in the city’s history.” —The New York Times
