With some adorable color and black and white illustrations this little Rabbit book has its own place in my heart. With squirrels in the attic and a porcupine as a friend it isn't hard to argue that this is a different Rabbit book than we have seen before. They fish together, wear polkadot pj's, meet a baby skunk, and have wonderful adventures. But best of all Little Richard has very loving parents, which is just so sweet it makes my heart swell. ( yea I know it's sickeningly sweet but in this day and age, it's what kids need....)
if I had to pick a favorite book, this is it. I have had it ever since I can remember. I have read it dozens and dozens of times. I was so young when I first read it that some of it didn't really make sense to me. when I had nightmares as a kid, this is what I read to soothe myself and go back to sleep. I love the illustrations, I love the stories. I love the little square size of it and the green on the cover.
