"Esta es una historia sobre la amistad, el conformismo, la libertad de elegir y, sobre todo, es una historia que nos recuerda el apego que sentimos a lo conocido y el pavor que nos provoca la incertidumbre. Una propuesta muy original y de una estética impecable protagonizada por animales, pero con un mensaje perfectamente aplicable a nuestras vidas. Un álbum en el que la imagen y las palabras narran por igual a través de secuencias que hablan de supervivencia y conformismo, de miedo y despreocupación, de fábricas de conejos, de cosas grandes y pequeñas."

I first read this book at the age of five, and I remember loving it. I loved it so much that I read it every time I went to the library, assuming it wasn't checked out. I can't remember how old I was when I realized that this isn't really a children's book, but eventually I did. Still, the book haunted me, and at the age of twenty, when I stumbled over it in a used-book-store, I could not put it back on the shelf.
For those of you who haven't read this book, beware if reading it to a child. It is a cruel and sinister story about life, death, and how the choices we make affect us. If you are old enough to understand its deeper meaning, you can't get it out of your head.
The Swedish title for this book is a lot more telling than the English: translated it would be "The rabbit that dared to escape." Beautiful, yes. Child appropriate, no. ( )
