Sampling of Story Text: Page 3With his inspiration gone — sadness had set in.
Rabbit games were lost, and he could never win.
Not doing what a bunny does, in his habitat,
made his body double-up by gaining rabbit fat.
Sweets replaced the carrots, while dreaming made his day.
Hare knew within his heart . . . he could not live that way.
Sampling of Story Text: Page 9The king and queen were childless and called Hare in by name.
“Hare,” they said, “we’re fond of you.” He said, to them, the same.
“Would you like to be a prince and change the way you are?
Your honesty and wisdom will take our kingdom far.”
“Of course, I would!,” the rabbit said, and bowed before the pair.
“Great!” They said, “now we need a princess for you, Hare.”
Sampling of Story Text: Page 22Hare held his scepter high,
and firmly in one hand,
showing that he soon would be:
The ruler of his land!
The jewel upon the scepter
emitted a pure sheen —
from the brightest carrot,
the world had ever seen!
