Mike Lowery.
A straightforward narrative about friends Frog and Bunny's argument over a robot is reinforced by rhymes (or near rhymes) playing off the book's title: "Ribbit Rabbit. / Trip it, trap it." It's a notably inventive and well-sustained bit of storytelling, and the mixed-media art finds both the frustration and humor in the age-old challenge of learning how to share.
