What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about rabbits as wild animals instead of cuddly toys or pets. How do thick fur and large litters help them survive? What else helps them live in the wild?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Out at dusk to eat in the field, watching for foxes and other predators, racing to the warren if there is danger -- this is the life of a rabbit. Children will be attracted to the cuddly looking rabbits in this beautifully illustrated and well-written description of rabbit life.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Descriptions and explanations are given in simple terms here, and the concept of reproduction is handled in a sensitive manner by giving the fundamentals with a minimum of detail and by using subtle illustrations (the two rabbits appear to be kissing).

The realistic illustrations have a soft touch, making the rabbits appear gentle and cuddly. The field that is their home is peaceful, green, and inviting. Children will be intrigued by the cutaway view of the inside of a rabbit warren.
