The Rabbit, The Carrot, The Crow, & The Quarry

This lovely bedtime tale told by a momma bunny spins the story of a bunny rabbit named Davey and how, during a daily hop, he mistakenly drops his carrot into a deep quarry. The story unfolds when a big black crow sees what happened and Davey implores him to rescue his 'jewel'. The crow is far wiser and knows it's a carrot and tells Davey he will take it and fly away unless he tells the truth about what it really is and how it happened. It's a story of friendship, honesty, wisdom, and caring for others. Written by Jeff Coffin (saxophonist of Dave Matthews Band), and illustrated by Augie Haas (Little Augie And His Trumpet) this story will not only delight children and parents alike, but is also fun to read aloud with its whimsical musical rhyme scheme.

"I can't fall asleep, Mommy," said the young bunny to his mother. "I can't either," said the bunny's younger brother.

"Well, if you'll both close your eyes,

I'll give you a lovely surprise.

Here's a story-it's not about you, but another..." 

A long time ago, in a time far from today, There lived a young bunny who wore a beret.

His first name was Davey, His fur was quite wavy,

And he loved to go outside and play.
