Tchotchke Goes Quackers

by Dennis Stephan Stuempfle, Nina Mkhoiani (Illustrator), Dennis Stephan

This is BOOK 2 in the 3-part series about Tchotchke, a bunny, and the family who adopts him. Children always like to adopt an animal as a pet but taking care of an animal isn't always easy and being a parent and the pet is just as hard as we found out in this first of three books about Tchotchke, a pet bunny. In book 2, Tchotchke is a bunny in search of a new home and a new life. At a nearby pond, he befriends a duck and believes this could be his new home. Will he fit in? Children learn in this book that you should be comfortable being who you are and not trying to something you aren't. Note this and the other 2 books can be purchased separately. The book is also available as part of a compilation with all three stories published in both soft and hard cover.
