Little Rabbit's Christmas

Harry Horse

A red sled brings joy--and trouble--for Little Rabbit at Christmas. Can his friends save the day? A classic Christmas tale from beloved author-illustrator Harry Horse.

★ "An enchanting holiday treat for all collections." ―School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

On Christmas morning, a much-coveted red sled is waiting for Little Rabbit, courtesy of the Christmas Rabbit. He cannot wait to try it out and show it off to his friends. However, everyone begs him for a turn, so Little Rabbit goes off in a huff to sled alone. But when a fast hill and a frozen stream spell trouble for Little Rabbit, he quickly learns the value of friendship and sharing.

Young readers will relate to Little Rabbit's predicament as he navigates a tricky situation and copes with complex feelings while learning an important lesson. Noted writer and artist Harry Horse brings his gently reassuring story to life with colorful and buoyant illustrations.

Praise for this book

"The joy of this book is in its delightful visual and textual details. Simple and satisfying pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork draws the eye to Little Rabbit's facial expressions, which include childish wonderment, frustration, and bravado. An enchanting holiday treat for all collections." ―School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
"Brightened with watercolor washes, the ink drawings create expressive characters whose emotions are easy to read. In Little Rabbit, preschoolers will find an everybunny." ―Booklist
"Exceptionally nuanced illustrations in Horse's signature pen-and-ink and watercolors of an irresistible animal cast turn an obvious lesson about the importance of sharing into an appetizing holiday story." ―Publishers Weekly
"Delivered in such an attractive package, the story's message goes down as easily as a sled bearing a load of good friends." ―Horn Book Guide
