Tired of being crowded in the burrow, Noah the rabbit asks his friend Albatross to take him to a spacious land with no bunnies, but soon after his arrival, Noah finds himself missing his cozy nest full of snuggly bunnies.

About this title

Review:

Noah the bunny feels "squished and squashed by the sleepy rabbits" in his burrow, so into the night he goes. An albatross takes him to the frozen North where he plays in the snow and then sleeps, splendidly alone, in an ice cave. But when he wakes up cold, all he wants is to be back in his burrow - will he be able to get home? Is there really any doubt? Chapman delivers one of her trademark adorable little animals endowed with a Disney-esque range of expressions. The icy-blue palette of the North stands in sharp and effective contrast to the cozy browns of the burrow in this mild flight of fancy. (Picture book. 3-6) (Kirkus Reviews)
