Product Description

Review
Shades of "The Velveteen Rabbit": young Sammy takes his plush friend Tom out one day to see "real rabbits," then runs off, distracted. Perched atop a stone wall, Tom tries to make the best of things as the sun sets, the moon rises (" 'I've never seen that before,' thought Tom Rabbit"), and wild rabbits gambol below (" 'I'm not scared one bit' "). Using her characteristic soft lines and pale palette, Firth creates large, simply drawn scenes, subtly conveying Tom's growing apprehension with changes in the length of his mouth or the attitude of his stubby front limbs. Just when Tom is sure that he's been abandoned, Sammy comes for him, and the two are last seen snuggling down contentedly in bed together. As is only to be expected from the team that created the "Big Bear and Little Bear" stories, the emotional landscape here will be familiar to any toddler or post-toddler, and the ending positively glows with comfort. Read this to "your" bunny (to paraphrase Rosemary Wells) only if you're prepared for repeat performances. "(Picture book. 3-5)". (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
Tom Rabbit is Sammy's soft-toy rabbit. One evening Sammy takes him out to the back field to see the real rabbits - and leaves him on the wall. Dozens of wild rabbits appear and just when Tom Rabbit thinks he's been abandoned for the night, Sammy returns and takes him home to bed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A WARMLY REASSURING STORY, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Being lost can be frightening; being found and returned to safety is warmly reassuring, as Tom Rabbit, an adorable plush bunny discovers.

Sammy and Tom Rabbit live on a farm. Early one day Sammy takes his beloved floppy eared toy to the back field so Tom Rabbit can see real rabbits. But, there's so much to do on a farm that when Sammy sees the cows being moved to another pasture he runs off to help, leaving Tom Rabbit perched on a stone wall.

Tom Rabbit knows that Sammy will come back for him, but as the day turns into evening and Tom Rabbit sees the moon for the first time his long ears seem to droop even more. Then, his eyes widen in alarm as he finds himself surrounded by real rabbits.

But Sammy hasn't forgotten his favorite toy - he returns for Tom Rabbit so they can both snuggle safely in bed.

Children who have waited to be picked up will easily relate to Tom Rabbit's predicament, and be reassured by a happy ending. Barbara Firth's soft watercolor illustrations add depth to this gentle story.
