The amusing tales of your favorite animals continue in The Year of the Rabbit !
Rosie longs for new experiences. However, when visiting a local garden,
she meets the boy Jai and learns what others think of rabbits. Can this
funny bunny show them her true nature in a hair-raising turn of events?
Rosies journey to appreciate her unique qualities will delight kids of all ages.
Sixth in the annual Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series, The Year of the Rabbit
shows all the charming characters of the Chinese lunar calendar and the value
of a youngsters ear for adventure.
For nearly 5,000 years, the Chinese culture
has organized time in cycles of twelve years.
This Eastern calendar is based upon the movement
of the moon (as compared to the Western which
follows the sun). The zodiac circle symbolizes this.
An animal that has unique qualities represents each year.
Therefore, if you are born in a particular year,
then you share the personality of that animal.
Now people worldwide celebrate this
fifteen-day festival in the early spring and enjoy
the start of another Chinese New Year.
To my brother Geoffrey: the one who got the red egg
and was the first rabbit I ever knew.
O.C.
To Papa: who has always kept the most wonderful garden
that any little bunny would be lucky to find.
To Alexandra: for all her love and patience.
And to my family: for their endless encouragement
and support. I love you all so much.

A family of rabbits lived underground in a bunch of
burrows. Mama and Papa Rabbit introduced their newest
baby to everyone. She had soft, hazel-colored fur,
and Rosie was her name.
News of her appearance quickly
spread. With her big ears, Rosie
could hear EVERYTHING.
Mama comforted her, Dont worry,
dear. They are a lucky sign and
will come in handy some day.
Rosie had many brothers, sisters,
and cousins, such as Velvet the
cottontail, Harvey the hare, and
Uncle Remus the jackrabbit.
Together they played in the grassy
meadow above their home.
However, Rosie thought the grass
might be greener elsewhere:
"I want new sights to see
and plants to taste.
Papa warned her, Be careful what
you ask for. Other animals may
want you for dinner.
Then one morning, a stranger
walked past. He bragged, I found
a patch of a yummy food nearby.
Theres no such thing as a free lunch,
scoffed Papa. But Rosie convinced her
playmates to go find it.
As Rosie hopped after her siblings, Mama called,
For Petes sake, where are you going?
Following the travelers directions, they came to a
picket fence. There they saw an incredible sight.
On the other side was a beautiful garden with a rainbow of fruits and
vegetables. In the distance, a woman and a child tended the crops.
Making sure the coast was clear, the rabbits dug beneath the gate.
Delicious smells lured the rabbits
forward. In the garden, they
marveled at rows of basil, bok choy,
and brussels sprouts. Soon Rosie
and her pals were rolling in
parsley and clover.
Suddenly a call rang out, Stop, you varmints!
The gardeners ran toward them, and the startled
rabbits scampered back to the fence. Yet Rosie took
another nibble and was the last to leave.
She dove under the gate,
and her ears got stuck.
Help! she cried.
Her friends returned to
lend a paw, but Rosie
was tugged backwards.
She had been caught!
Po-Po, you got one! the boy laughed.
Hey, this bunny looks kind of funny.
The rabbit said, Hi, my name is Rosie.
