Illustrated by
Valeri Gorbachev.
On Christmas Eve, as Little Bunny's siblings hang ornaments high on the tree, they tease him for being the smallest one in the family. That night he dreams of cavorting with the ornaments-come-alive, who appreciate him; humorous scenes show the small rabbit socializing with the toys in the tree. Gorbachev's sketchlike, effortless-looking ink and watercolor illustrations bring the endearing characters to life.
