When Rabbit was a lion
(Book)

"This story is narrated by a young girl, who tells the story of the week her Rabbit decided to throw a party. "But Rabbit" she says, "you don't like parties." "That's true," he says, "but I do like my friends." So, he invites them to a costume party, and works hard all week to get ready. As he rushes to-and-fro with oodles of preparations to make, the girl overhears her friend muttering to himself: "One thing at a time, Rabbit. One thing at a time." The event is loud and lively, as his friends party hearty in their splendid costumes. The dog is a frog, the bird, a ballerina, the cat, a crocodile, the pig, a pirate, the girl, a rabbit ... and the rabbit, a lion. Rabbit is soon overwhelmed by the all the activity and noise, and slips away to find some quiet. But when his understanding friends decide to party more softly, Rabbit rejoins the festivities, and a good time is had by all."--,Provided by publisher.
