About This Book

A set of short, illustrated children’s tales follows an elderly rabbit gentleman on gentle woodland outings and small domestic adventures. In episodic scenes he goes fishing with makeshift gear and cherry-pie bait, unexpectedly snags a hat and a cap from two hiding mischief-makers, and joins friends in gathering nuts for a cake, while a caring nurse figure and animal companions assist or react. Each vignette blends light slapstick, simple problem-solving, and warm endings in which the rabbit’s good fortune or cleverness yields modest treats for his friends while the pranksters gain little.
