Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson
Rabbit Hill is about animals who live near or on a hill. The time is rough because there isn't much food to support the families. Little Georgie, a rabbit, is sent to get Uncle Analdas, since he was living beyond the hill alone. There are also new folks coming, which caused Little Georgie to make up a song. After uncle Analdas comes back with Little Georgie the new folks come. With them they bring an old cat who won't even hurt a fly. The new folks also put up a sign that says "Please drive carefully on account of small animals". The new folks also have a garden which on Midsummer's cue they pick which vegetables they want. I think this book got the Newbery Award because it has great details, along with the characters of the book. It also has suspense and humour, which makes the reader want to continue reading. :)

I really liked the way the author made the animals seem almost human, with human emotions and actions. I could really relate to what they were thinking and feeling. Nice choice!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you read this book. It is one of the older Newbery winners and some students miss it because it seems old to them. Remember "you can't judge a book by its cover."
