We all know how difficult it can be to keep rabbits out of a vegetable garden. This book, written for children ages 3 to 7, describes the attempts by Mr. McGreely to save his garden and the successful efforts by a trio of rabbits to dine at his expense. With great pictures and text, this story is a good read-aloud book with a surprise and happy ending.
