“Befuddled animals are always adorable, and Rabbit, with his expressive ears and large eyes, is no exception.” — Booklist

Rabbit has a problem. There’s a large black rabbit chasing him. No matter where he runs—behind a tree, over the river—the shadowy rabbit follows. Finally in the deep, dark wood, Rabbit loses his nemesis—only to encounter a real foe! Kids who like to be in on the secret will revel in this humorous look at shadows and friendship.
In a sweetly humorous debut, Philippa Leathers captures the ambivalence that young children sometimes feel about their shadows.
—The Wall Street Journal

Debut author-illustrator Leathers’ soft, textured watercolors are never very frightening...which makes this story—one that’s ultimately about friendship—ideal for the littlest kids. Befuddled animals are always adorable, and Rabbit, with his expressive ears and large eyes, is no exception.
