Books with title The Rabbits' Carnival

This fantasy story is set in the beautiful countryside. Webster Lester and their tween sister Molly Rabbit - who is really a kind girl, likes painting her nails, and babysitting - get into mischief when they decide to go into the Allisons’ yard to play in the grass and snack on the flowers. They get doused with water, chased by dogs and almost snatched up by a group of little league boys. For the three rabbits, there are new dangers to face every day in the woods. Aside from trying to avoid getting caught by Mrs. Allison when they go into her garden to play, and trying to avoid getting run over by Mr. Allison’s old lawn mower, the rabbits must look out for Mr. Red Fox! Life for the rabbits is full of adventure and surprises!”

Winner of the Children's Book Council Children's Picture Book of the Year (1999). A dramatically moving allegory of colonisation told from the viewpoint of native Australian animals. This stunning picture book examines the consequences of the arrival of a group of rabbits with entirely unfamiliar ways. The rabbits bring new food and animals, and make their own houses to live in, eventually dominating the environment and its other inhabitants. The change in the native animals' environment is brilliantly depicted by Shaun Tan's illustrations, which also serve to highlight the 'strangeness' of the rabbits. The parallels with our own experience of colonisation are many; stolen children, the onset of industrialisation, and population increases.
