About This Book

A set of three short, illustrated episodes follows an elderly rabbit gentleman whose small acts of kindness lead to playful adventures. In the main tale he rescues a large June bug that later returns with many insect companions to free him and two young goat children from a hidden pit. Other episodes find the rabbit on a ladder painting his hollow-stump bungalow and dealing with a comically paint-covered alligator, each mishap solved with friendly help. Simple, repetitive narration and lively pictures highlight generosity, cooperation, and gentle humor for young readers.
