Synopses & Reviews
Rabbit wants to know why the sky is blue. He always asks about everything! His old friend, Donkey, knows a lot of things, and promises to teach him. Rabbit hops and bounces all over the page, while the Eeyore-like donkey patiently waits. In the end their roles are reversed in this delightful tale of friendship.

Review
