Little Rabbit's Christmas & Doll
Harry Horse Hardcover, 32 pages; 2007

  Little Rabbit pines for the red sled he spies in a toyshop window. It's what he really wants for Christmas…and he gets it! But, having gotten what he wished for, he's very protective of the little red sled and refuses to let his friends come near it. It's only after a downhill mishap that Little Rabbit realizes the error of his ways. His friends share their Christmas toys--a toolbox, a paint set, etc.--to repair, repaint, and ultimately restore his broken sled to near-new condition. And Little Rabbit learns that it's much more fun to share with friends. Harry Horse's sweet illustrations add charm to this lesson in the spirit of sharing and giving. An adorable poly-plush Little Rabbit Doll, just 6½" tall, makes this Christmas gift complete. For ages 4 to 8. (EE)
