This book is incredibly dull. It is told from the perspective of rabbits and all the other animals as the new folks move into the old farmhouse and start growing things again. The animals have all been worried about finding food as there haven't been human gardens around to raid for several years.
In general, I don't like books that anthropomorphize animals. I also don't like when the natural world is romanticized to the effect that all creatures great and small can live in harmony.

“New Folks coming…new Folks coming into the Big House!” That’s the cry of every Animal on Rabbit Hill. The Animals are filled with excitement…and fear. Will the new people bring a new prosperity to the house and the hill? Or will they bring danger?
Not to give away too much, but the charm of the story is the way the new Folks are everything the Animals could hope for and more, beautiful role models of love.
