I wanted to like this book, but I could not get through it---too much moralizing and not enough fun or cleverness. Pictures are by an L. Campbell, but he is not listed on the title page or verso.
This is one of the most magical Story Books of all time. It thrilled me as a child and still charms my heart to this day. If I could give it a million stars, I certainly would!

But these are all I have room for here. Enough to say that the bunny rabbit lived happily for many, many years in his hollow stump bungalow in the woods, with Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. And there you may, perhaps, see him some day. Who knows?
