Have you seen this rabbit?
In a wonderful mixture of reality and fantasy, a little girl who loses her toy rabbit concocts a story, with her parents help, about what Tatty Rattys destiny will be. Alternating domestic scenes with depictions of Tatty Rattys adventures, Helen Cooper sends the beloved bunny on a train ride to a meal at the Three Bears cottage, a run-in with pirates, and a flight on dragon-back to the moon. Finally Tatty Ratty returns to Earth, where the girl is reunited with him.
Coopers exuberant, richly colored pictures will have children returning to the story again and again.
