The Black Rabbit

“Befuddled animals are always adorable, and Rabbit, with his expressive ears and large eyes, is no exception.” — Booklist

Finally in the deep, dark wood, Rabbit loses his nemesis—only to encounter a real foe! Kids who like to be in on the secret will revel in this humorous look at shadows and friendship.In a sweetly humorous debut, Philippa Leathers captures the ambivalence that young children sometimes feel about their shadows.
