Product Description
Christmas is coming and all Little Rabbit wants is a shiny red sledge. When he wakes up on Christmas morning he isn't surprised that he can't find it in his stocking because that's a little small for a sledge. But when he cannot find it under the Christmas tree either, or stuck up the chimney, or under his parents' bed, he is heartbroken! "I only wanted a sledge," he weeps, until Papa tells him to stop crying and look outside. And there it is - all shiny and red an new, just waiting for Little Rabbit to play on it. He feels very proud when his friends gather round to admire his wonderful present, but they want to play on it, too! Little Rabbit thinks that's not fair - it's HIS sledge and HE'S the only one allowed to ride it! What will make him learn to share?

Little Rabbit wants a sledge for Christmas and is petulantly disappointed when it is not in his stocking, and unimpressed with his other gifts. But his understanding parents tolerantly point out that the sledge is, in fact, outside, and a delighted rabbit rushes out to play. But he won't share it with his friends, even when they offer to share their new toys with him, and goes off to play alone.
Naturally he finds it is much less enjoyable without friends, and when he breaks his sledge he is devastated. But his playmates (who are really much nicer and better brought up than he is!) selflessly help him to fix it (with their own new toys - tools and paints), and he realises how much more fun everything is with good friends to share with.
A lesson in being a good friend, and another firm favorite from this lovely, beautifully illustrated series of childhood stories. My 4 year old daughter has loved these books for 2 years, and shows no signs of tiring of them.
