Night Rabbits

By Lee Posey

Book Overview

A young girl arrives at a creative solution for peaceful coexistence with the creatures that enchant her but frustrate her father.

Elizabeth treasures the rabbits who dance on the lawn in front of her family's summer cabin. On hot, sleepless nights, she goes out and watches the magical, nocturnal scene of gentle rabbits frolicking in the grass to a chorus of night sounds. But the rabbits are eating the grass that her father has cared for all summer, and Elizabeth must come up with a solution to protect both the rabbits and her father's lawn.

Illustrator Michael Montgomery's stunning paintings beautifully reflect the elegant magic and mystery of author Lee Posey's touching story about a young girl's special relationship with the natural world.

Calming and interesting

We borrowed this book from the library and it was a success. My 26 month old really enjoyed it, and it was very calming and easy to wind down with. We returned it over a week ago and he is still talking about the night rabbits.

A highly visual story that evokes a peaceful, rural setting.

Night Rabbits evokes images of quiet summer evenings in the country. It is a peaceful tale that is calming to readers of all ages, especially those who have to live in bustling, overcrowded urban areas. The author and illustrator were clearly in sync when they put this book together. The mood of Posey's writing and Montgomery's ethereal illustrations match perfectly. I sincerely hope this first collaboration of theirs will not be their last.

A great book!

My children enjoyed this touching story of a little girl, her father and their experiences with nature on a southern lake.
