"The magic of this wonderful book is in its simplicity. A child-rabbit in everyday short and simple situations. Every word is exactly where it ought to be, and yet there is a lot of thought behind it. The understatement style of the text leaves room for the perfect illustrations on one hand, and to the storyteller on the other. Did i say charming? So very very charming "
