When I was a child my aunt had a crate spilling over with books, most of them picture books. She kept it in the hall closet and I would pull it out and read for hours.
This was one of the books I read and a favorite of mine. Both the art and story are so cozy and autumnal. It’s a perfect fall read. Reading it feels like drinking cocoa on a chilly autumn evening next to a cozy fireplace.

I loved the words used in this story. Words to stretch children's minds. The storyline was adorable.

A mother rabbit ( a single mom it seems) and her little rabbit need a snug home for the winter. Everywhere they look, they are turned away! Finally, they make their own home out of a hollow tree stump. Lovely illustrations and a good message about persistence!

Um, just to clarify, this book is actually called Rabbits' Search for a Little HOUSE. Rabbits' Search for a Little Ho would be something quite different. Anyway, this is a tale about rabbits looking for a home for the winter. Nothing spectacular, but a decent bedtime story.

This was one of my favorite books when I was little. I think I mostly read it because I liked the part at the end when they made their own little house.

This was my favorite book of all time to have read to me before bed!

Talking about discrimination in an age appropriate way is a good thing with little kids, but I don't know that I want to start it with "Rabbits need not apply!" Otherwise kinda cute.
