ONE DAY, when Little Rabbit has been especially naughty, Mama and Papa give him a good scolding. "It's not fair," he cries "I shall run away and live all by myself." So Little Rabbit packs up a few of his belongings and leaves his family to build his very own house--where no one can tell him what to do ever again! But food tastes different away from home and strange noises are louder. Soon Little Rabbit comes to realize that having your very own house is not the same as having a home with a family who loves you.
Harry Horse hits all the right notes in this gently humorous, ultimately reassuring story of a misunderstood young runaway asserting his independence. Young readers will identify easily with Little Rabbit and quietly cheer his triumphant return to the reassurance and safety of his home and family.

Reviews
"Horse once again demonstrates his intuitive understanding of preschooler' minds and moods..." —Publishers Weekly "The universal appeal of tales about running away and the high-quality art make this a solid addition to picture-book collections." —School Library Journal "...there is clear child appeal in Horse's delicate line-and-watercolor images of irresistible Rabbit and his scaled-down world." —Booklist
