That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Neal Layton. A queen makes repeated attempts to trade valuables for a girl's stuffed-animal rabbit, Stanley. The story's matter-of-fact telling is hilariously undercut by Monty Python-esque absurdity ("One day, Emily Brown and Stanley were launching themselves into outer space...when there was a rat-a-tat-tat! at the kitchen door"), and the mixed-media art is favorably reminiscent of Lauren Child's surrealistic tableaux.
