About This Book

Aimed at beginning readers, this collection presents short poems and simple prose about household and farm animals, including dogs, cats, birds, poultry, horses, rabbits, and small pets. Brief anecdotes, descriptive pieces, and rhymes portray everyday pet behavior, care tasks, and gentle moral lessons about kindness and responsibility toward animals. Sections group similar creatures and alternate playful vignettes with practical tips for feeding, housing, and helping wildlife. Illustrative scenes and accessible language support early reading and introduce empathy for animals.

Rabbits

Rabbits are very timid animals.
Their ears are very long, and their hearing is very keen.
They like to live in burrows, which they dig under the ground.
Wild rabbits like to run about the fields and woods.
Rabbits have a funny hop.
When they go from place to place, they leap.
They like cabbage, leaves, carrots, beets and clover.
They are interesting pets.
Sometimes they become tame enough to eat out of our hands.

One rabbit used to like to lie under a chair in the living room.
This rabbit would go into the garden, but would always come back to the house.
We do not often let rabbits come into the house.
