![]() ![]() Then comes the big test, the test of whether little animals and big folks can get along with each other. ![]() The little animals have nothing to complain about…until one of Little Georgie’s adventures gets him in big trouble. But the new Man and Lady who come to live in the house have ideas of their own–strange ideas, maybe ideas that come from reading so much that the brain goes soft! Use dogs, guns, traps, and poison to drive them away. The hired men who do the work of preparing the garden and grounds have certain ideas about how to get alone with these little creatures. For new folks are coming to the abandoned house, coming to revive the decaying garden and lawns, coming to provide food for the rabbits, field mice, woodchuck, skunk, fox, deer, and other denizens of the field and wood. ![]() And all in the spring and summer in which he proves to be a nearly-full-grown rabbit, he is the most excited of all the little animals on Rabbit Hill. Little Georgie is the youngest child of Mother and Father Rabbit, the last one still living in the hutch. And in my opinion, it should be a children’s classic. Popper’s Penguins won a Newbery Medal in 1945 for both writing and illustrating this story. Purchase hereThe author of Ben and Me and illustrator of Mr. ![]()
