Industry Reviews
K-Gr 4 What a chuckle this spoof is! Lonesome Pellet in the 1870s, a mere ghost of its boomtown splendor, is threatented by the three Pointy Brothers, the orneriest rabbits in the West until, one morning at sunrise, a stranger wearing a radish-top hat hops into town. It is Saladin (Have Fur Will Travel) come to clean up the place. In the Bunny Hop Saloon, where carrot juice is the drink of choice, the youngest Pointy provokes the stranger. In a sunrise showdown, Saladin confronts and outconeys the bad guys, asking as his reward the privilege of ringing the big Pellet Exchange bell the rest of the day. At sunset, he hops out of town, his hat sinking slowly in the west. Bright, colored-marker illustrations are so realistic that they make the wacky scenarios totally believable. The simply rendered characters (reminiscent of Al Capp's late-1940s Shmoo in Li'l Abner) are full of expression and contrast pleasantly with the minute detail in the rest of the pictures, which are filled with humorous asides. Listeners will plead, ``Read it again, please!'' Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NE
