The Spring Rabbit by Angela Mcallister
The tender story of Smudge and his dream to have a brother or sister will appeal to any child awaiting the birth of a new sibling
Smudge is the only rabbit in the woods without a brother or sister. His mother tells him to wait for spring, but that is a long way off. In autumn, Smudge builds a leaf-and-twig brother, but he blows away. He builds a snow sister in the winter, but she melts. Will Smudge's wish for a sibling ever come true? This touching tale of the arrival of a new baby is perfectly complemented by gentle illustrations.
