Title: The Magic Rabbit
Author: Annette LeBlanc Cate
Illustrator/Artist: Annette LeBlanc Cate
Genre: Children's Fiction / Picture Book / Magic & Friendship
Edition: True First Edition, First Printing
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Ray the magician and his rabbit companion, Bunny, are not only downtown business partners, but they are also best friends who share everything from a tiny city apartment to the stage spotlight. However, when a bustling Saturday crowd causes a chaotic sidewalk tangle with a local juggler, Bunny vanishes from the magic hat, leaving Ray shouting into an empty street.
The suspenseful yet gentle adventure tracks Bunny as he narrowly eludes the juggler's curious pet pug and hops across a dauntingly busy street. As darkness falls across the city and his stomach begins to rumble, Bunny's keen senses detect a comforting aroma: freshly popped stadium popcorn. Hidden among the golden kernels on the ground is another familiar beacon—a trail of glittering performance stars that map a magical path back through the urban labyrinth.
The Magic Rabbit is a beautiful and reassuring story about being lost and found, an excellent read-aloud story for families to share during cozy bedtime reading.
