Being an only rabbit is the best...until it isn't.
Thoughts: I love rabbits and the ones featured in this book are the cutest. The story is one I'm sure will resonate with children. Having time by yourself or one-on-one time with an adult is important even for only children. Older siblings will have much in common with the little gray rabbit. The illustrations (made with ink pens, watercolor, and colored pencils) are lovely. Colorful and the characters have such depth of expression. Loved the surprise ending with the fox. I won't ruin it for you, but I was astounded.
