Overview

The realities of life in the wild for the rabbit are very different than those of its domesticated counterparts.

Synopsis

The realities of life in the wild for the rabbit are very different than those of its domesticated counterparts.

Nicole Peterson <%ISBN%>0753452146 - Children's Literature

Rabbits seem to have a rather simple life. They eat, they dig burrows, they mate, they have kittens, and they sleep. This beautifully illustrated book describes the life cycle of a rabbit. It covers such details as what a rabbit looks like when it is born, how the mother finds food for the babies, how the rabbits mate, what dangers they encounter, what they eat, and what a burrow looks like. This is not a story or a fable about rabbits, it is an actual description of what happens to a rabbit during his or her lifetime. The illustrations in this book compliment the text completely. A young child can learn more about rabbits by simply looking at the pictures. This book can be helpful in a science class. It would be especially helpful for a child who has a rabbit to learn what it would be like for the animal if it lived in the wild. The end of the book contains rabbit words, where to go for further information about rabbits, the history of the wild rabbit, and how to watch them in the wild. 2003 (orig. 2000), Kingfisher Publications,
