Write on.

Rabbits Eat Lettuce Without Any Dressing and Other Rhyming Stories by Marian H. Miller This is a book for children. It is about children’s thoughts and written in the voice of a child, from his or her perspective. It is about ordinary, everyday occurrences: the child who hesitates to try new food; the child who is told he is too young or too small to join in certain games or activities; the child who longs for a grandparent who lives far away; the child who is sick; and the child who is bored. It talks about ambition, like wanting to work with horses or owning a boat. It is about the things kids do and what they would like to do; about holidays and about family. Each rhyming story teaches an important lesson and shows children the wonders of an active imagination. Rabbits Eat Lettuce Without Any Dressing and Other Rhyming Stories can be read by children on their own or will be enjoyed by parents reading to their children.About the Author Marian H.
