On a beautiful evening two rabbit sisters want to play
outside. Against the advice and warning
of their parents to stay hidden so they wouldn’t draw the attention of
predators, they decide to play on some rocks.
In the beginning they tried to move slowly and stay hidden. Eventually they forget about the warning and jump
high, landing on the top of a big boulder.
Suddenly an owl swoops down and lands right in front of them. So begins the “cat and mouse” chase between
the owl and the two sister rabbits. In
this fun and adventurous tale the reader will be surprised by the unexpected ending.
The
Owl and the Two Rabbits is an exciting tale showing the
importance of listening to parents, making choices and working together to
solve problems. The illustrations are exciting
and fun. The rabbits are depicted in a unique
way that we loved! Each expression
exhibited by the rabbits is easy to understand simply by looking at the illustrations. The unexpected ending may lead to many
discussions between parents and children.
