[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Please Don't Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit" by Michelle Lander Feinberg.]

Please Don’t Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit is a children’s book written by Michelle Lander Feinberg and illustrated by Anna Mosca. The book tells the story of Cooper, a big black and brown dog who looks a bit like a bear. If there’s one thing that Cooper loves in life, it’s chasing rabbits. Cooper doesn’t want to hurt the rabbits; he just wants to make friends. But to the rabbits, Cooper is big and scary looking, so they run away from him.

One day Cooper chases a rabbit through a picnic that the fifth-grade class is having. When the rabbit sees that the kids aren’t afraid of Cooper, he stops running. Cooper’s family take the rabbit home and name him Jack. Jack and Cooper become the greatest of friends.

This is a charming tale featuring likable characters and a sweet animal friendship. It is appropriate for children of all ages. Children in the middle-grade range can enjoy reading this simple rhyming story themselves.

I found nothing to dislike about the book. It has beautiful illustrations and positive messages about friendship and acceptance. There are whimsical scenes that kids are sure to enjoy such as the one where Cooper is playing the drums and Jack is playing the guitar.

As someone who has vision issues (cataracts) I appreciated the big, bold font that stood out against the colorful background. I believe a bold font is always the best choice for children’s books.

I believe that the book was professionally edited. I found no errors in the text. The story was pleasant, positive, and easy to follow along with. I recommend it for parents, educators, and anyone who has young children in their lives. I am pleased to rate Please Don’t Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit four out of four stars.

Love how the book subtly imprints likeability towards animals in the mind of children. It's really important that children's books teach something to them and this book seems to deliver that in a fun way while making the characters goofy and likeable. Thank you for the detailed review!

This sounds adorable. I am excited to look into it more.

This sounds like a fun story about animals. I also appreciate a large, bold font in kids' books!

This book really sounds joyful, the review also makes it seem like it has some deep plot development (conflict and resolution) which is not very common in children's books, especially ones from years and years ago.

This sounds like a story that inculcates the message to not judge a book by its cover; alternatively, to not judge people by their appearances. I think that it is a worthy message for children to learn specially early on in life so that it prevents stereotyping later on in life. Thank you for your review!

Wow! I will say it's a great story with great lessons even for adults too. Like quick judgment, racism, negative mind always distroys and kills. God says if you save 1 soul it as if you have save the hole of humanity and friendship is one factor. Also the chose of animals is great because children love rabbits and dogs. Thank you.

Children's books often come with a great message and this one is not an exemption as it preaches friendship and love for animals. I like your review.

The whole book exudes such sweetness, and the illustrations add even more to it. I am more than willing to read it more than once. And yes, awesome review.
