About This Book

The collection presents three short illustrated children's tales about a kindly rabbit gentleman whose small adventures mix gentle peril and whimsy. In one episode he attempts swimming with two playful frog boys who rescue him from mud and then together trick a fox with a slung stone; another follows his rounds distributing Thanksgiving cakes to grateful and comical animal neighbors while a police dog apprehends a sneaking fox; a final tale shows a lighthearted craft-and-play scene in which the rabbit fashions a kite and encounters predictable mishaps and neighborly assistance.
