A short and sweet story that illustrates friendship and acceptance of differences - one rabbit prefers to live in the city and the other in the countryside. Unique illustrations capture the loneliness of the one rabbit as he sits and walks amongst the trees in the vast, open countryside, as the leaves and the flowers blow around him creating a bitter sweetness. Rabbit then meets someone just like him and their adventures begin. If, at the end of the story, you are left wondering what might happen next, there is a sequel - "Brown Rabbit in the City".
Ideas for activities based on the book:
Compare and contrast urban and rural communities.
Discuss loneliness and the importance of making friends.
Discuss friendship - what makes a good friend?
Write a letter to a friend in the city/country side.
Discuss what might happen next.
Read the sequel - "Brown Rabbit in the City"- was it different from what you thought might happen?
