No Bunnies Here!
by Sauer, Tammi
No Bunnies Here! follows a very particular alien who has one singular, non-negotiable rule: absolutely no bunnies allowed. The humor stems from the protagonist’s growing, frantic obsession as they try to keep their environment entirely bunny-free. It is a masterclass in comedic pacing, where the absurdity of the situation escalates with every page turn. The writing is snappy and direct, making it a dream for reading aloud, especially if you enjoy leaning into the dramatic, slightly paranoid voice of the narrator. This is a perfect pick for readers who appreciate deadpan humor and stories where the main character is their own worst enemy. If you have ever laughed at a character who is trying way too hard to maintain control over a ridiculous situation, this book will be a staple in your home library.
