The popular urban legend about a dead rabbit that does not stay buried is expansively retold, introducing a brother and sister who fear their dog has killed a crabby neighbor's pet rabbit. Though readable, the story lacks the oral version's brevity and punch. Making Old Man Hoover a pathetic figure who grieves for his deceased pet adds a depressing tone, which is matched by the dark-hued color artwork.
