In the Kingdom of Little Animals every child is at home. That a dog can talk to his friends, that a rabbit may wear knickers or a little bird climb up a tiny stair inside a hollow tree trunk seem quite natural.
Every child is willing to take my hand and step over the border into Rabbit Country.
Come, you older ones, turn back the clock. Don’t you long for a moment to be once more in Make-Believe Land? Surely you will if you read the Little Jack Rabbit Books. You again will see yourself in the wistful eyes of the youngster at your knee as he listens to
Yours for a story,
David Cory,
The Jack Rabbit Man.
