Tom's Rabbit: A Surprise on the Way to Antarctica

30 pp. | National | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7070-3 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bert Kitchen. It's Christmas on an Antarctica-bound ship, and Tom must find a quiet place for his pet, Little Rabbit, to build a nest. After a long search, Little Rabbit beds down and delivers a Christmas surprise--seventeen babies. The story is a bit slight, but the textured illustrations provide a vivid glimpse of shipboard life. An author's note on the endpapers gives additional information about the real voyage on which the story is based.
