Rabbit Hill

Little Georgie the Rabbit is the first to break the news on the Hill—new folks are coming to live in the big, empty house! All the animals wonder how things will change. New folks might plant gardens and bring good times back to the Hill. Of course, they might also bring dangers like traps and guns, dogs and cats, and—worst of all—children. Mrs. Rabbit is so worried that she sends Georgie to fetch Uncle Analdas, the wise old rabbit who lives far away in Danbury. Uncle Analdas understands folks and their ways better than any other animal on the Hill. But even he is surprised by the happy changes the new folks have in store for everyone. Filled with all the lovable characters and lively adventures that have made Robert Lawson one of the most beloved authors of this century, Rabbit Hill is a 1945 Newbery Medal winner and a delightful classic of children's literature.
