Mama is expecting a baby and Little Rabbit is going to be a big brother!
He s full of plans; he will teach the baby to play all sorts of games and be the best big brother ever. And when Mama has triplets, it looks like there will be three times the fun.
But having babies around might not be as much fun as Little Rabbit thought. They sleep and cry a lot. They are too young to throw a ball and they get their sticky paws on all his toys. They take up all of Mama s and Papa s time. It s not fair! cries Little Rabbit.
As it turns out, the new babies adore Little Rabbit. And one night when a tired Mama and Papa are at their wit s end, Little Rabbit comes to the rescue, consoling his siblings and rocking them to sleep. Now Little Rabbit understands what an important job it is to be a big brother.
Young readers will relate to Little Rabbit s challenging situation as he learns to cope with complex feelings and upheaval in the household. Harry Horse s colorful and buoyant illustrations vividly bring to life the indomitable hero in this gently uplifting and reassuring story.
