I think we only ever had the two books from this series, but I loved this one just as much. The terrible tragedy of the little girl who was allergic to her puppy! The ending joy when the farmer not only decides against shooting the cute rabbits, but that he might as well have TWO farm puppies who are best buds! Speaking of which, Sassafrass & Pumpkin are two of THE cutest names.
P.S. I feel like we need to emphasize to kids that pet rabbits and the rabbits who eat garden vegetables are. not the same. mostly because they should know it is not a viable solution to turn the latter into the former, no matter how wonderful it is in this story.
(Also, how was I not upset by the picture of the man pointing a gun at two "terrified," trembling bunnies execution style?? He doesn't change his mind until after the page turn!)
