Book Overview

by Dashka Slater (Author), Jamey Christoph (Illustrator)

When four abandoned bunnies turn up in a city park, the community rallies to save them in award-winning, bestselling author Dashka Slater's unforgettable middle grade nonfiction debut.

No one knows how a bunch of pet rabbits ended up in a San Francisco park--but one thing is clear: they don't belong. Predators are circling, and if they aren't rescued soon, the park itself will be overrun. From the moment they're spotted, the countdown begins.

Join a cast of kids hiding out in forts, keen-eyed teenagers surveying the park, rabbit experts setting traps, and scores of neighbors willing to do anything to help as they rally together in pursuit of rabbits.

For fans of Candace Fleming, this exceptional true story comes to life in a beautifully illustrated book, which includes a fun feature that animates a running rabbit when you flip though the pages as well as behind-the-scenes bonus material.
