A brave bunny decides to go out and see the world: he (or she) starts by doing rabbitlike things in the forest, then departs from bunny behavior by climbing a tree, hiding with an owl, building a fire, and beating a drum. The simple concept is mucked up by anthropomorphic stunts that don't seem to fit the gentle story, which is enhanced by soothing black-outlined images accented with soft blues and yellows.

In 1936 Missouri, Charley moves to the country with her mother, who works long hours at a cannery to support them. Derided by the cannery owner's children, Charley nevertheless finds friends in Don the storekeeper, Walt the hobo, and especially elderly Beryl, whose reputation for craziness is belied by her kindness to Charley. Though the plot and some characters are rather predictable, the story is adeptly told.
