Summary: A violent morality tale
Review: "The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit" is one of Beatrix Potter's weirder children's books. The plot is set in motion when the nasty title character attacks another rabbit and steals his carrot.This book is a violent and surreal morality tale. It's not one of my favorite Potter books. A warning to parents: gun violence is depicted in this tale.

Summary: the fierce bad reader
Review: i am a big fan of the fierce bad rabbit, as well as all of beatrix potters works. However, the main characters are better, ( i'm very fond of bunnies) and the outcome and plot are less distrubing than the whole rolly-polly pudding thing, and the patty-pan. Still, one must wonder what social allagorie does "the man with the gun afford". Buy this book, get the whole series, they really are very nice to read, and if you think it would be detrimental to your maturity, buy it for a younger sibling, nephew, niece, cousin, etc. and see if you can bring yourself to give it away. I bet you won't be able to, and if you can, than there is something big wrong with your head...

Summary: Great, simple story.
Review: My sons love this book, and they think it is quite funny -- precisely because the Fierce Bad Rabbit gets his comeuppance from a hunter. It's an old-fashioned approach, in that, the rabbit pays the consequences for his bad behavior: he loses his tail, his whiskers, and the carrot he swiped. The illustrations are great. A note on content, since another reviewer mentioned the Roly-Poly Pudding Tale of Samuel Whiskers. My 5-year-old found Samuel Whiskers MUCH more disturbing than this straightforward story. Beatrix Potter's world, from another era, is interesting and entertaining.

Summary: Fierce Bad Rabbit
Review: This is a very cute story about how being good and being bad has different outcomes. This would teach a very important lesson for young children to learn. The illustrations are also very cute, showing exactly what you'd picture the story being. The good, innocent rabbit is just sitting there with his little carrot, happy to have it to eat. A bad, fierce rabbit is hiding in the bushes, just waiting to pounce on the sweet, little rabbit. All of a sudden, he pounced! That poor sweet one had to go running and hide in a cave. Seeing what happens to the fierce, bad rabbit is very Beatrix Potter like. It is so sweet how it ends, how being good always works out and being bad isn't always going to go your way, no matter what you think.
