Rabbit's Song is an imaginative children's book written in the style of a folktale. In the time before time, Trickster searched the animal kingdom for a suitable animal to teach humankind. Bear, Cat, Tiger, Dog, and Wolf were all too fearsome; only the humble Rabbit and his friends Coyote, Raven, and Crow were suitable for the teaching people about the way of laughter. Vivid color illustrations (of a bright green rabbit, a red coyote, and their brown and deep blue avian friends) help draw young readers into this adventurous, magical fable.
