The Little White Rabbit

Descripción

A Portuguese folk tale. A little rabbit gets one over on the big guy. An amusing invitation to wordplay. A little rabbit needs help to recover his home from the nastiest, meanest, goat ever -- a goat so bad he could squash the little rabbit flat... But it is not until the rabbit meets a tough little ant that he has any hope of succeeding. Intended to be read aloud, the text plays masterfully with sound and rhyme. The story also proves that friendship and courage always win the day, and that bravery is not a matter of size. «The little white rabbit» was adapted from a traditional Portuguese tale by Xosé Ballesteros. The illustrator, àscar Villán, was awarded the Spanish National Illustration Prize in 1999. In 2000 the book was selected as 'Best Book for Children' by the Banco del Libro de Venezuela. In collaboration with BATA, an adaptation was published in the Makakiños collection that uses pictograms, a system that facilitates reading for people with educational needs.
