Books with title The Rabbi

Anne studied to become a CPA, but she hungered for more: more life, more joy, and more excitement. When she entered the attic crawlspace that fall day, she wanted to see where it led, but nothing could prepare her for what she found. She emerged in the city of Liberty on the planet Eden, but this was just the beginning. The universe opened before her, and she discovers a hidden truth about herself: she is a Rabbit. What is a Rabbit? Join Anne and learn the answer. Who knows, you too might be a Rabbit, and you too will join the adventure.

The realities of life in the wild for the rabbit -- being hunted by foxes and other predators, competing for food and mates -- are very different than those of its domesticated counterparts. Any child who adores the cuddly, furry bunnies of picture book lore, will appreciate this privileged look at the life of this appealing and shy animal. Finely detailed artwork, and an absorbing text make this an excellent gift or a treasured addition to any child's wildlife library.
