A turnip patch, a warning, and an opening to friendship

Hare’s attachment to his turnip patch sets up a story about the pull between keeping to oneself and looking out for others. His new rabbit neighbors offer a chance to share a meal, but it is the arrival of a hungry boar that prompts Hare to consider their safety. The woodland setting brings the question of mutual help into focus: can neighbors who have little in common find a way to protect one another?

Book overview

From internationally acclaimed picture book creator Steve Small comes an "entertaining...delightful" (Booklist, starred review) story of unexpected friendship and the happiness that sharing can bring.

Hare is proud of his turnip patch and doesn't want to share it with anyone. When the rabbits move in nearby, they invite Hare for carrot soup but he's much happier being alone. Still, when a huge boar comes to the woods in search of his next meal, Hare feels he should warn his neighbors. Can they find a way to help each other stay out of danger?
