Rabbit George tries to avoid doing his chores by fobbing them off on his younger brothers. Naturally, the plan backfires, but the story is so full of zip and laughs that the "be responsible" message doesn't come across pedantically. The book's varied design and Carlson's bright, childlike illustrations more than ably match the story's pep.
