PreS–The trials and tribulations of being the middle child is the subject of this tale, which stars a rabbit family featured in several other titles. Davy is too small to go hiking with his older brother, but too big to play "hop-on-pop" with his younger siblings. However, it seems that he is just the right size to baby-sit his sister. Of course, Dinah has her own idea of fun activities and they don't coincide with Davy's plans. He feels sorry for himself and runs off. Father Rabbit identifies his son's problem and honors Davy at a party to show how much he is loved and appreciated. All ends well, with the youngster enjoying center stage. Tharlet's pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations are done in mostly earth tones and reflect the bunny's anguish and joy. The picture of him huddled up with his toy rabbit in the hollow of a tree with Dinah eavesdropping on his conversation is endearing. This story will be enjoyed by middle siblings everywhere.–Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA
