The Rabbit’s Wedding

It’s hard to believe it, but the little bunny pictured here is now married.  Yesterday was the wedding, and at the reception, the little rabbit’s little sister read this book to the new couple.  

The Rabbit’s Wedding is a sweet, simple story of two rabbits who really enjoy spending time together.  They loved to play Find the Acorn, Race Around The Blackberry Bush, Jump the Daisies and Run Through the Clover.  Once in a while, the little black rabbit would get a sad look on his and face and the little white rabbit didn’t know why.  Finally, he tells her.  

“I just wish that I could be with you forever and always.”  The little white rabbit thinks about it and decides that she wants the same thing.   

“The little white rabbit gave the little black rabbit her soft white paw.”

The rabbits put dandelions in their ears and all the other animals of the forest came out to see how happy they were and danced in a circle around the new rabbit couple.  

“And so the two little rabbits were wed and lived together happily in the big forest; eating dandelions, playing Jump the Daises, Run Through The Clover and Find The Acorn all day long.

And the little black rabbit never looked sad again.”
