Come romp through more than 100 pages of fanciful illustrations and colourful rhyming couplets. Four-books-in-one--

"My pen-and-ink and pan pastel illustrations are all about the fantastical, the whimsical, and the what-ifs. You know, what if a jackrabbit visited you at bedtime? Would you follow it? I love that the jackrabbit’s paw prints jump directly into the book on the very first this-book-belongs-to page. Then, all we see on the very last page is the jackrabbit from behind as it hops off the page. Almost as if the jackrabbit scampers through the whole book." - RB
