I'm looking for a book about a rabbit that is depressed.  He discovers
anti-depressants and many other kinds of pills.  I would personally
classify it as dark humor.  The book is small (around 3 inches by 3
inches) and illustrated.  I last spotted the book in a Barnes and
Noble around two years ago.  In addition to the author and title, a
satisfactory answer will include an image of the cover or some other
information that I can use to confirm that this book is the one I
seek.

Rainbow, thanks for the prompt response.  No, this is not the book I
am looking for.  I should add that the book I'm in search of also
contains text in addition to the illustrations.

Thank you for your clarification.

Is there anything else you can remember about the book?

Unfortunately I don't remember a whole lot about it (I know, I'm not
making this easy, am I?).  At least not much particularly useful.  The
rabbit was depressed then got prescribed some antidepressants.  He was
then happy, then discovered Viagra and a multitude of other pills and
the book describes how those pills affected his life.

In the middle of January 2004 I think it was in a bargain bin at B&N
in Pennsylvania.

I have been searching for hours for this book and no luck so far. Is
there any part of the title or author you can remember. Any word?

Hello.

I'm going to go far out on a limb here and say that your book was
actually "Pills for Cats: Finding Happiness Through Modern
Pharmacology" (2003) by Charles Kreloff et al.

From a reader review at Amazon.com:

"This is a simply delightful little book about a cat who has a whole
bevy of modern psychological issues, and finds relief in the miracles
of Prozac, Xanax, Valium, Ambien, and a whole host of other medicinal
delights!"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743261178/

Now, obviously this book features a cat rather than a bunny rabbit,
but the cat's long pointy ears actually make him look quite a bit like
a rabbit.  Also, the year (2003) is consistent with your recollection
of seeing it at B&N two years ago.  Also, the book is small (5
inches).

In short, this is small, illustrated, humorous, two-year-old book
about a depressed animal that discovers a variety of meds (and
resembles a rabbit). As such, I'm fairly confident that this is the
book you're remembering. If not, please let me know via the "request
clarification" feature. Thanks.

I believe you nailed it!  Thanks so much, and I do apologize for my poor memory.
