Need Help finding book "Quozel" with alien space bunnies

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

Back in High School, I remember yanking a small worn paperback book in the SciFi section of my High School.

As near as I can remember, the books name was "Quozel" and it involved a Colony ship of 7 fingered alien space bunnies who come ot Earth in the mid forties, not knowing life exists on Earth.

I really loved this book as a kid, and it was one of the first Sci-Fi stories I read where the aliens weren't 2-dimensional stereotypes based on some preexisting Earth culture. It was short, funny, but overall made a big impression on me.

Years later I go back to try and find it, and even google lets me down. Trying different versions of the word yields little to nothing. The closest I got was a hit to some other forum with a guy saying "Hey, anyone remember a book called 'Quozel' ?"

Thus I wonder if anyone on the bored remembers such a book.

Wow, 30 minutes and your quest is done.
SDnet in general (and in this case, Batman in particular) is pretty amazing eh?

Apologies for pointless post, if this is construed as such.

They don't call me the World's Greatest Detective for nothing :D

Man, I remember reading that in jr high. And I remember thinking "horny space bunnies, this can't end well." And then I learned of furries. Shit, I was right!

Well god damn Bats, its amazing what correct spelling will do. Quozel, Qouzle, they all seemed to stump google, and then you get it spot on!

Funny, I discovered this book long before I discovered Furries, and despite the whole giant bunny business, it doesn't seem very 'furry' to me.
