Doctor Rabbit and Tom Wildcat

In the sun-dappled Big Green Woods, peace is a fragile thing. Doctor Rabbit and his friends the woodchuck, squirrel, and the rest of the gentle creatures want only to live in safety, but Tom Wildcat has other plans. He's clever, he's hungry, and he's absolutely determined to make a meal of somebody. Every day the shadow of his hunt falls across the woods, and every day the little animals must hide. But Doctor Rabbit refuses to surrender to fear. Using his wits and his kind heart, he devises a scheme to outsmart the predator and give the woods lasting peace. The question is: can cleverness triumph over claws? This early 20th-century gem captures the eternal appeal of the clever underdog and the joy of watching brains defeat brawn. Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or sharing with beginning readers who love animal adventures.
