Pig John D.'s portraitist uncle wants to paint Br'er Rabbit's picture. They meet Br'er Fox, Br'er Possum, and others, but the trickster rabbit proves elusive. John D. relates their adventures in long, tedious letters home. Gouache illustrations include handsome portraits of the characters, often with little jokes for observant viewers. An author's note about Uncle Remus tales is appended.
