Rabbit Hill / Robert Lawson / 127 pages / Deceased Author Challenge

This Newbery Medal winner would probably not appeal to most of today's young people...not enough action...but it is an endearing story of Little Georgie Rabbit and his family as they interact with humans and civilization.  Wise old Uncle Analdas tells Georgie that there are always new folks coming, change is essential to life.  Georgie and his family are thrilled with changes effected by the new people who have moved into the big house.  This is a comforting tale of the interdependence of man and animal, and the peace and harmony that are possible through kindness and sharing.
