“I remember loving this as a child, and reading it again as an adult you can certainly see some of the historical views of women being presented, but I LOVE how the Country Bunny manages to be a fantastic mother, raise children who are competent and capable, and also take some "me-time" to accomplish her dreams, all while being kind, wise, swift and brave.”
