Me: It was okay.

The Rabbit: *actually listened* I'm glad I'm an only bunny.

Guinea Pigs: no idea what they were doing, never listen anyways
From the back cover: "Every year the Hopkins family has the finest vegetable and flower gardens...Now that spring has arrived, it's time to plant those gardens again. But with Mommy and Daddy Hopkins off buying carrot seeds and 15 eager rabbits all trying to dig, rake, plant, and water at the same time, this year it seems as if there are too many Hopkins!"
a fun story of how a large family of bunnies were able to finally work together to plant their garden.
