Rabbits, Rabbits & More Rabbits

Gibbons introduces rabbits in a large, square-format volume, brightly illustrated in her signature style. The text puts together a variety of facts on the history, types, physical traits, habits, senses, and development of wild rabbits, but there is no real connective discourse. Also included are instructions on caring for pet rabbits. Two pages of captioned drawings indicate the differences between rabbits and hares. Colored washes and crayon shading enliven the clearly delineated ink drawings, though in some cases the rabbits have a stuffed-toy look about them.
