Let’s, make rabbits, says the scissors to the pencil, and, before the reader’s eyes, two rabbits appear–one drawn by the pencil, the other cut from brightly patterned paper by the scissors. When the rabbits are hungry, the scissors and the pencil provide paper carrots. But one day the taste of a real carrot leads to a magical surprise. This imaginative tale is being reissued in celebration of fourtime Caldecott Honor Book winner Leo Lionni’s 100th anniversary.

A wonderful combination of collage and pencil drawing provides a lesson in art appreciation as well as a tribute to imaginative reality.
