Ginger (1997)

This book shows a family's reaction to the death, by dog attack, of two of the family's pet rabbits, most notably Hugo's favourite rabbit Ginger. A touching story which runs the gamut of emotions. The book is very realistic, especially Hugo's comparison of strawberry jam with the congealing blood on Ginger's body. The book ends on a happy note, with the remaining rabbit giving birth to three babies, including a ginger one. ( )
