About This Book

A trio of short, illustrated animal tales follows an elderly rabbit gentleman and his friends through whimsical episodes: a March wind lifts a newly bought rug and carries the rabbit and his housekeeper on a sky voyage that is brought safely down with the help of a falling pig; a classroom visit intended to teach good behavior dissolves into playful mischief when the rabbit cannot resist joining the antics; and a final domestic caper sends a pudding to a canine neighbor amid comic misunderstandings. Each vignette blends slapstick situations, gentle humor, and familiar moral nudges for young readers.
