now is coming, coming soon, so Rabbit needs to find food fast. Just in time, a turnip turns up, and a second one, too. Who in the woods wouldn't want to tuck away an extra turnip for the long winter? Not Rabbit. He chooses a different path--and starts a wave of generosity that spreads among all his forest friends.

It feels as though I have always been wrapped in stories and books. My parents read to me, and I in turn read to younger brothers. Family economics meant we couldn't own many books, but going to the library was as common as going to the market. I still have the books I received as gifts. They include two "Little Golden Books" that were savored in childhood, and have served as talisman ever since. THE BUNNY BOOK by Patsy and Richard Scarry (1955) and RABBIT AND HIS FRIENDS by Richard Scarry (1953).

Like all children I created stories as part of play. And, like some children, I was soon identified as one who "days dreams too much." I began writing stories when they were given as assignments in elementary school. By seventh grade I was writing even when there was no assignment. My dream of making books became so vivid, I submitted my first "formal" picture book manuscript to a publisher when I was sixteen. Eleven more years of school, work, reading, writing and luck finally brought about LIZARD'S SONG, my first children's book to be accepted.

Looking back, it seems especially appropriate that LIZARD'S SONG was my first book. Even though I had been writing for years, I always felt everyone else's life held better ideas for stories than mine did. I thought there was nothing about me that was interesting enough to make a good story. But I finally learned what Lizard teaches Bear. My best stories come when I tell or sing about what makes my home. What I love. What I fear. Things that have happened to me, and things I hope will happen. Things I like about me. Things I dislike about me. Things I understand, and things that still confuse me. So even though I am not a lizard, squirrel, chicken or rabbit, when you read my books you'll find little bits of what my heart calls home.

Picture books have been my professional focus now for 40 years. Reading them. Writing them. Sharing them with children. Teaching workshops and classes on writing them. Oh yes, and buying them. Lots of them. And now, blogging about them, and helping other writers.

I purchased this book for my PreK library class but then I had an idea. I purchased artificial veggies (obviously real ones can be used) and my friend made "doors" for each animal with a blown up clip art image of each animal on the doors. The little 3year olds hid behind their doors each wearing a hat designating the animal he or she was representing. I read the story and they acted it out. We had an such a good time. There is such a lovely message of always thinking of others which was made even more obvious as the children passed "the gift" to their friends.

Lovely story, beautiful, sweet illustrations. We use this in Sunday school, and I also had a copy at home when my sons were younger - they remember this book fondly.

We bought this book to bring it to preschool because they were collecting class books for kids. In my 4-year-old son's class, the kids loved this story, and we're glad that we bought this book.

The book and its story is a bit strange and pretty ridiculous - a rabbit finds two radishes and decides to share the second one with a friend, but their friend was not home... so the radish is left by their door without any note. This same cycle keeps on repeating until every animal passes around that radish until it ends right back with the rabbit who started it all. Finally, the first giver/last receiver rabbit decides to share the radish with everyone. Why didn't the rabbit just do that in the first place and save us from the cyclical mess? This is just not a book my family could connect to and we all thought it was rather strange/not worth keeping.

Perfect for Easter or any occasion really. It has a wonderful message and is not too long, so it holds their attention. The pictures were darling.

I don't understand how, but the kindle "edition" of this book is a book with the same title, written and illustrated by somebody else. It's also not as good. I saw the cover art was different and foolishly assumed it was just a different edition of the same book.

Great gift and shipping was fast too.
