The Brave Little Bunny

VGUC— softcover   Tired of the monotonous food and cramped quarters she shares with her bunny siblings, lop-eared Millie escapes from her hutch to explore the world beyond the garden hedge. Her first discovery is a fox, but fortunately, a wild rabbit--named Seventy-six for his birth order--rescues Millie and leads her to safety. The shelter of his family's nest is only temporary, however, because the domesticated Millie, who lacks self-defense instincts, could endanger the warren. So the adventurous bunny returns to her hutch, only to find it secured for the night. Realizing that she wants to remain free, Millie hops back out into the dark yard, where Seventy-six has come looking for her. Together they make a new home in a flowery glade and raise bunnies of their own. Abloom with radiantly colored wild and cultivated flowers, the pages are exquisite bouquets through which field mice dart, butterflies flit, and endearing rabbits seek adventure and comfort together.
