The Black Rabbit — Philippa Leathers

In this clever picture book, a debut author-illustrator introduces a plucky rabbit and the new companion that he just can't shake.

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, brought to light by a talented animator.
